The only time I have really got off of the train here was when I was heading home, which meant I…read moreended up on the rather boring platform. As such I expected this station to be a rather boring station, though it turns out not to be the case. In fact, on the other platform, it has one of those old station buildings that I do really like. I never realised that, so my opinion of this place has changed quite a lot.

Another railway station. There probably isn't all that much to actually say about this place, but…read moreit is basically a newer style of station, not the older styles that I like, and there is also a pub in a short walking distance as well. Okay it might not be the best pub out there, but at least it is a pub you can visit while heading home. However, not a great station, and the lack of toilets is also quite disturbing.

Yeah, I'm sure if you live in Melbourne you will be familiar with this station, and with this…read morelocation. I have ended up here a couple of times, namely because it is a major interchange station where you can not only catch the suburban trains but also the V/Line and even the train to Sydney (which runs twice a day, though you can't catch it into Melbourne, which is a shame). Yeah, basically it is one of those places that you should only go to if you really need to go to it.

Set opposite the massive shopping centre, Broadmeadows Train station is a gateway for those in the…read morenorth. Serviced by both the Craigieburn and Broadmeadows lines, metro trains operate at least every ten minutes from here during the week; and between 10-15 minutes on weekends making it one of the better stations in regards to frequency. The other great thing about this station is that V Line trains run through, and stop here. So if you're coming to Melbourne from the country and would prefer to hop off before you get to Southern Cross, Broady's your port of call. My sister comes from North Vic regularly to visit me on the train, and it's so much easier to meet her and drop her off at Broady from my place not even 15 minutes down the road. However, Broadmeadows is well known for its high crime rates and youth unemployment, making the train station a popular hangout for unsavoury types. Because of this I always feel a little uneasy, but if you plan you're travel for during the day and try to get there so you don't have to wait around too long, it's not so bad. Being a premium station Broadmeadows is manned through the Metro and V Line ticketing office so there is a good sense of security whilst the office is open.

In a way, I have given this station more credit than it is due in the past, namely because of the…read morereally nice buildings, and that it has been quite convenient to me as well. However, it is one of those stations that I would consider a useless station, namely because it only works to basically slow down the trains along the South Morang line, and the two stations to either side are close enough to walk to. Mind you, I highly doubt that the government could get away with removing this station to speed up the trains.
