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.

The end of the Belgrave line. If you are going to Puffing Billy go to the end of the platform and…read morefollow the painted line past the old falling apart carriage to get there. To return just retrace your steps. You can tap in and out at the end of the platform with your myki. This will save you walking up and around. Clean station with good facilities and is staffed. Good bus interchange to get where you need to go.

Nothing really stands out with this station either.

It's manned during the day, the trains actually run underground here so there are stairs and also 2 lifts to get up and down to the platforms so it is bike, pram and disabled friendly. The trains sometimes run on time, when you catch a train most times you get to where you want to go relatively on time. You always get a seat this far from town during off peak times.

It is a fairly inexpensive form of travel.
