This is the newest mega train station near Point Cook. It looks clean, at least compared to those…read morein US. There is huge car park for commuters, however there is bit of walking distance, plan to give plenty of time.

I don't know how many times I've driven past this railway station, but that is probably because it…read moreis next to the major freeway that leaves Melbourne. Its pretty new, and pretty fancy as well. In fact, the main part of the station is located in the bridge above it, and you can use the bridge to cross over the freeway. There is also a bus interchange that is quite useful as well. It's pretty new, and quite postmodern as well.

This station has recently been upgraded, meaning that it is now a lot more accessible than…read morepreviously, not that I had actually been down this way previously to actually check the station out. The building is still present though, not that it is a particularly flash building. Rather it is rather dull. However, there are some facilities here, such as rest rooms, so I will be giving the place points for that. Yeah, it wasn't too bad, though it wasn't particularly fancy either.

Honestly, I sort of expected a lot more from what happens to be a major interchange station. Okay,…read moreit is quite large, and quite a few trains do pass through here as well, however, a part of me felt that this station was, well, somewhat lacking. Okay, maybe it had something to do with the station being located in Sunshine, so yeah, there does happen to be that. Otherwise, yeah, this place wasn't really all that great.

Your average train station with bus interchanges. You can top off your myki at the machines and…read moresuch. There is one waiting area and the station provides benches at the platforms when you're waiting for your train.

Here we have another station that happens to be fully staffed, completely accessible, and has ample…read morefacilities. I guess being located next to a major shopping centre does help, and help quite a lot, but still, I do quite appreciate the fact that this station is just a little more than a shelter and a platform. I guess also being a termination station for some trains helps as well.

In a way this is a major suburban railway station, namely because it happens to be a stop for the…read moreV/Line trains as well as a number of the suburban trains (well, actually all of the suburban trains that head along this line). It is basically a fully serviced railway station, and quite accessible as well, though I'm not entirely sure if it actually sports restrooms (a lot of them don't, and when they do it happens to be locked). Still, trains are reasonably frequent along here.

Essendon Junction does not have a lot to offer, but it does provide a train station (Craigieburn…read moreLine), tram stop (rout 59), bus depot (many routes), 7 Eleven, a couple of bars and a cafe. Essendon station has a lot of parking, but fills early. It is also close to Windy Hill, if you happen to need to go there for some reason.

And another random railway station that I'm reviewing. Well, random is probably not the best word…read moreto describe this as that would involve me getting off the train just to review a railway station, and that isn't something that I am really all that keen to do. However, this station wasn't too bad. It's been renovated and also quite clean, and near some pretty decent shops as well.

Ahhh. Balaclava. I used to love getting on and off the train at Balaclava station. OKay, not the…read morewalk down or up those long ramps, that could be a bit painful. But getting off at Balaclava always felt a bit like being in a rock video. First a couple of orthodox jews would get off, all dressed in black and wearing those awesome hats they wear. Then a tough old lesbian couple. Then maybe a backpacker or two, and then finally me. And I'd maybe stop for a coffee, listening to the relaxing thunder of the trains passing overhead, and I'd be happy.

This is like one of those really annoying stations because if you want to go to Williamstown you…read morehave to basically get off here, wait a few minutes and then catch the next train that comes along. Well, maybe that is only for the weekends because I've only even been down here on the weekends. Still, as a station it is pretty cool, and does have some decent facilities, depending on your definition of decent that is.
