There really isn't all that much to this station, except for the school that it happens to be next…read moreto, and the houses that happen to be on the other side. Mind you, while the station doesn't look all that flash, being one of those more practical ones, the thing that I do like about it is all of the greenery that surrounds it. In fact, the greenery really does make this station quite attractive. As for facilities, well, there isn't all that much here either.

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.

This is probably the station that you want to get off at if you want to go to the beach in…read moreWilliamstown. It isn't next to the beach, but it is a short walk there, so that definitely works. However, it is a bit more of a walk to the main town centre, so it is probably not the best one to get off at if you want to go there. However, it is one of those older stations, no doubt one of the original considering the importance Williamstown played in Melbourne's history, so there is some charm about the place.

This is sort of a beach side railway station, namely because it is actually a short walk to the…read morebeach. However, it is also quite close to the shops as well, making is a rather convenient beachside location. However, one of the catches is that it does take quite a while to actually get down here, depending on where you happen to live of course. Still, as a railway station, this place certainly does work quite well, and the trains are sort of regular, at least as far as Melbourne trains are concerned.

This is basically a university station, namely because it happens to be located right next to a…read moreuniversity. Okay, the trains don't always stop here, and there isn't all that much in the way of facilities, expect for the shopping mall that happen to be located beneath it, and it is a pretty cool shopping mall as well. Oh, and the station buildings are also quite nice.

Like most train stations in Melbourne Glenferrie Station is packed in peak times. CBD workers and…read moreschool children clog the station and the train carriages in the morning and afternoon. The station suffers from enormous numbers of school kids and students from Swinburne, but it isn't really a problem until you get onto the trains. The Lilydale, Belgrave and Alamein lines all come through here so to get to another destination you'll have to head further in and then transfer to another train line. During the late nights watch out for crowds around Cheers and Room the local hot spots. I'm not aware of any problems but it's always good to note that there are people drinking in venues close by.

The visitor centre is modern. You only get 50 mins if you're taking the return train which is too…read moreshort. There's an art exhibition here which is pretty decent. For a tourist place the cafe is cheap & pretty good. The chicken schnitzel Turkish was big & tasty despite not being 100% fresh & was only $15. The scones were a bit too light & yeasty & could be shorter but were only $12.

Well, this is basically the main destination for Puffing Billy, though the train does travel beyond…read morea couple of times. Most of the time though, the train will stop here, and then make its way back to Belgrave. The station is close to a lakeside park, and there are a few facilities here as well, including a kiosk, and a playground for the kids. In a way this place is the perfect place to jump off the train and spend some time, before making the journey back to Melbourne.

Beaches near railway stations can be both a blessing, and a curse. Namely because they are easy to…read moreget to, but also because it is easy for everybody else to get to as well. So, this is basically one of those beachside railway stations, that also happens to be the end of the line, which means that all of the trains that end up here end up terminating. The station itself is rather nice, one of those older stations that, no doubt, goes back to the days when people would generally catch the train to the beach, namely because nobody actually owned a car.

Okay, it is pretty much…read morelacking any facilities, but then again it doesn't happen to be one of those premium stations. There is a walkway over the tracks, but it is one of those old wooden ones which means that it really isn't all that mobility friendly. The station building itself is nice, particularly due to it's old style, but functionally, not really all that much.
