In fact, as I have mentioned countless numbers of times, I think it is pretty cool keeping these old stations around, and in fact restoring them and making them look as they did back when they were first built. It just adds a lot of charm to the area, and reminds us that there is more to architecture than much of the modern rubbish.

This is a major interchange station in Melbourne, which means that trains are regularly coming…read morethrough here. So, of course, it is a boon for those who live in the area, especially since they can catch some express trains. The station itself is quite nice as well, capturing the old days of train travel. Yeah, I really do like this station, even if the local area isn't all that great.

I wouldn't consider this station to be all that aesthetic, but then again, that certainly has a lot…read moreto do with it being one of those station that happened to have appeared on the scene when railway stations were more about function as opposed to form. 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.

The good things about this station is that it is pretty accessible, and in a way that you don't…read moreneed to add anything to it. It is also one of the older stations in Melbourne, which I have to admit is pretty cool. However, the one issue that I do have with it is the complete lack of facilities. It is pretty close to some decent places, but it would be nice if it actually had a restroom.

Well, this station wasn't all that appealing, though it does happen to be one of the newer stations…read moreon the network. Well, newer in the sense that it does feel like it was built in the 60s. 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.

This is another one of those rather tacky stations that were built during the age of function over…read moreform. Yeah, it really doesn't look all that impressive, and it is also somewhat annoying that the train doesn't actually run any further, but that is probably because they haven't actually run passenger trains for a while, and the track was never kept in good shape. Still, at least there is an interchange here for the buses, and also it is reasonably close to shops of well. Sure, it isn't one of the greatest stations, but it is still convenient.

So, there are some good things about this station, one being that it exists (because that is always…read moregood when it comes to railway stations) and that it is in a quiet part of Melbourne. Oh, and there is a park and a cafe nearby. However, the catch is that interchanging between train and tram is annoying because it is a five minute walk. Mind you, this dates back to when they were all owned by competing companies, so making it easy to interchange wasn't on the cards. Still, it's a nice station.

This is another one of those really lovely old stations that you tend to find around the inner city…read moreof Melbourne. Sure, trains may not be all that frequent, but then do come along with reasonable regularity. However, like a lot of these older stations, one of the biggest problems I find is that they tend to lack facilities, especially if you need to pay uncle John a visit. Still, it is quite accessible, so I'll certainly it it that.
