Flagstaff is an underground railway station in the suburban train network of Melbourne, Australia. It is one of five stations (and one of three underground) that comprises the City Loop, which encircles the central business district.
Flagstaff, like the other two underground City Loop stations (Parliament and Melbourne Central) has four platforms over two levels, each one serving a separate group of rail lines that leave the Loop and radiate out into the city's suburbs. It began operating in 1982.
The station services Melbourne's law district, and is located under LaTrobe Street at William Street, near the northwestern corner of the CBD. Passengers can easily exchange between the station and the numbers 24, 30, and 34, and the free City Circle tram routes, as well as the number 684 bus route along LaTrobe Street, and the number 55 route on William Street.
Flagstaff station is closed on weekends, and is the only station to do so.
