	List of Melbourne railway stations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of the 200 currently operating suburban railway stations (216 including greater metropolitan stations) in Melbourne, Australia.
		There are also a further 19 stations on 3 heritage, volunteer-operated, tourist railways.
		Stations are broken up into 3 Metcard ticketing zones (some stations are in two zones, where tickets for either zone may be used), as well as the City Saver area, which is within Zone 1 and covers the central business district.

	Agent FareEvader's Hecho En Mexico - Who reads this bit, anyway?
		The station itself was victim to fire in the early nineties and was extensively rebuilt as a shopping mall.
		I assume this to be in reference to an incident that occurred in mid 2003, where a 15-year old youth was questioned for a ticket, and opened the door while the train was in motion, leaping out as the train sped along at 80km/h.
		These proved to be too heavily modified for the motors installed in them, and were restricted to the relatively level Williamstown, Sandringham, Port Melbourne and St Kilda lines for their short lives before they too were refurbished into the H sets for interurban use.

	Camberwell railway station, Melbourne -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
		The station was demolished and the current station opened in 1919, when the railway lines were placed in a cutting.
		The station has three (A woman's shoe with a very high thick sole) platforms; platforms 1 (the southernmost) and 2 form an island platform, with platform 3 to the north.
		Although the station is historic, it is not actually protected by any of the state's heritage listings for any architectural or cultural reasons, and failed to gain this protection after the community outrage at the development plans.

	Melbourne Boy's High School used by the Military during WW2
		In mid 2004, some of the buildings between the school and the railway station were being excavated without any sign of a tunnel.
		It is believed that there was no such tunnel between the school and the railway station.
		There have been unsubstantiated reports of a tunnel from the Melbourne Boy's High School to nearby South Yarra Railway Station.

	Agent FareEvader's Hecho En Mexico - Who reads this bit, anyway?
		The Port Melbourne and St Kilda lines, due to their length, were not financially viable operations as heavy rail, and as a result in 1987 both these lines were converted to Light Rail and the Melbourne Tram gauge (Standard Gauge, 1435mm) from the Victorian Railways Broad Gauge (1600mm).
		Overall, it was a day spent immersed in the history of the Victorian Railways, observing and admiring the system as it stands, albeit a modern, sleek and professional shadow of its former self.
		On the St Kilda Line (Tram Route 96) the original Stations are still in place, many of them have been converted to housing or community centres.

	Events in the Past: Official Opening of the Mordialloc Railway Station
		After the brief ceremony at the station two hundred individuals walked across the bridge under the banner to Bloxsidge’s Bridge Hotel where they were accommodated in a large marque, enjoyed a substantial banquet ‘where every delicacy in season was in abundance’, and participated in the toasts to various organizations and groups.
		In addition to Thomas Bent, Minister of Railways, the Solicitor General and the Minister of Agriculture were on board together with Sir John O’Shanassy a former Premier (1857), John Keys, a local member, Mr Bray, Premier of South Australia, and Mr Gregory, Survey General of Queensland and a noted explorer.
		An earlier train leaving Melbourne at thirty five minutes past ten transported four hundred school children from East Brighton, South Brighton and Cheltenham free of charge to participate in the welcome to officials and guests at Mordialloc.

	Shop Fresh : Article 'Melbourne Central railway station'
		Melbourne Central is not the city's central station, as the name suggests, (Flinders Street is the city's central suburban station), but is named after the shopping centre built above and around the station concourse.
		Melbourne Central, like the other two underground City Loop stations (Parliament and Flagstaff) has four platforms over two levels, each serving a separate group of rail lines that leave the Loop and radiate out into the city's suburbs.
		The station was originally named Museum, after the nearby Melbourne Museum in the State Library of Victoria complex on Swanston Street.

	Stonnington History News - #31
		Its construction represents a deviation from the low-cost timber structure which was typical of the stations built by the early private companies and from the standard layouts associated with stations built by the Victorian Railways Department.
		South Yarra Station is the odd one out in this discussion of the Gippsland line, as it was constructed in the early 1860s to serve the Princes Bridge to Windsor line.
		All the stations were then left at the wrong level and/or in the wrong place, and the bold solution adopted around 1915 was to build new stations – the Edwardian structures that we see today.

	Tony's Melbourne Musings
		The women on the station not only wore hats, but not seldom, gloves, for they were going into the city after all, whereas the proletarian travellers would probably alight where the factories were at Richmond and Burnley, when after work, those collapsed Gladstone bags would accommodate six bottles of Abbots Lager.
		The Melbourne Jewish artist Horace Brodsky, friend of Modigliani whom I knew in the '60s in London when he was in the ninth decade of his life, recalled the Melbourne of his youth when people promenading in Collins Street would never dream of setting foot in the raffish purlieus of Bourke Street two blocks away.
		MELBOURNE'S heart has been "reconquered" as a place for eating and drinking, study and recreation, and the number of people living in the CBD has risen eight-fold in a decade.

	Hawksburn, Victoria
		It was named after Hawksburn House (situated near where the railway station was later built), which was so named when its owner saw a hawk near a stream which he likened to a Scottish burn.
		Unlike neighbouring Prahran, Hawksburn was not provided with rail transport until the Gippsland railway was connected between South Yarra and Caulfield in 1879.
		Hawksburn's land is elevated above Prahran's and it attracted a number of large residences whose owners favoured such sites because of their superior drainage.

		One interesting off-shoot of the traditional strip has been the emergence of “boutique centres” focused more on food than fashion, such as Dundas Place, Albert Park, Malvern Road, Hawksburn and Ormond Road, Elwood which have now moved in to the top 20 strip centres in metropolitan Melbourne.
		Melbourne shoppers and diners, Mr Berry said, quickly adopted Southbank in the early 1990s and were beginning to embrace Docklands in much the same way.

		Tucked away on the Hawksburn foodie strip that officially goes under the Toorak postcode, Caffe Latte is a place I've tried hard to avoid for a long time.
