The other thing was that this place wasn't staffed all that much, yet, the thing is that it still have facilities which I could use, so it certainly gets points for that.

This station has certainly been done up quite a lot, but that has a lot to do with the fact that…read morethey have recently sunk the railway line so that it goes underground, as opposed to going through a level crossing. So, of course, since the station is next door, it was also a good idea to update it, and they have certainly done a pretty awesome job there. Yeah, they certainly have put a lot of effort into making a new, and quite functional, station.

This is sort of an end of the line station, though you sort of can go further, but that would…read morebasically be on a steam train that doesn't run all that often. Anyway, the station it self is quite charming, located in the centre of town, and even though it is one of those sixties style buildings, it is pretty accessible, and has decent facilities as well. Trains are reasonably regular, but being an end of the line station does indicate that they aren't as regular as some.

Then again, I probably shouldn't be too surprised since I suspect Upwey is a relatively newish suburb. I guess it does serve a purpose, especially for people who live in the area, though it isn't staffed. While it isn't a favourite, at least it is there.

Anyway, Ringwood Station is a major interchange station at the confluence of two rail lines - to Lilydale and to Belgrave. There is also a major bus interchange here, and across the road is the Eastland shopping centre. They have actually revamped it quite recently, and at times you can even catch an express train to the city.

However, it is pretty close to the shops and there also happens to be a bus interchange here, which is actually quite useful. Sure, it isn't one of the fanciest stations out there, but it is practical, which I suspect was the point of it all.
