List of regional railway stations in Victoria
|
|
This is a list of the currently operating Victorian regional railway stations. The stations make up 11 radial train lines, which all operate out of Spencer Street Station in Melbourne, Australia.
Four lines previously closed to pasenger services - those to Ararat, Bairnsdale, Leongatha and Mildura are in the process of being refurbished as part of the Linking Victoria project. While all were expected to reopen during 2004, the two larger projects, Leongatha and Mildura, have been delayed due to their funding being redirected to cover cost blowouts on the Ararat and Bairnsdale lines, both of which have now been reopened to passenger service.
Stations listed in bold are terminus stations. Some trains will be timetabled to terminate before the end of the line, although on some lines all trains will terminate at the last station at all times.
