Transport
Major roads include Flemington Road, Elizabeth Street and Victoria Street.
The main railway station is Flemington Bridge, which is on the Upfield railway line. Despite the naming, the North Melbourne railway station is actually in the adjacent suburb of West Melbourne, while the Flemington Bridge railway station is in North Melbourne boundaries and not in Flemington. The Arden railway station is planned to be built on Arden Road within North Melbourne's industrial area as part of the Melbourne Metro.
North Melbourne is serviced by a number of tram routes:
- Tram route 59 (Airport West): travels along Elizabeth Street and down Flemington Road.
- Tram route 57 (West Maribyrnong): travels along Victoria, Errol, Queensberry and Abbotsford Streets, then down Flemington Road.
- Tram route 55 (West Coburg): travels down Flemington Road and then into Royal Park at Abbotsford Street, just skimming the boundary of North Melbourne.
It also has a number of bus routes.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
