Yeah I know, it's a bit weird to love a train station. I reckon though, in your heart of hearts, you all have a little soft spot (or misdirected hot ball of rage) dedicated to your local public transportation pick up and drop off point.
Croxton Station is on the Epping train line and occupies a little patch of parkland between Stott and Spencer Streets in Thornbury. There is a tennis court next door and a great little corner shop on the Spencer Street side for your newspaper needs.
What's great about Croxton (as opposed to all those other dog stations between here and the city) is that it has one of those machines that actually allows you to buy any kind of ticket (bar the coveted Sunday Saver) with coins, notes and cards. Who would've thought it'd be a great idea to actually let commuters buy the kind of ticket they want, with the payment method of their choice? Honestly, Metlink and their thug wardens can suck my arse, but Croxton's OK by this guy. Respect. read more
