Parliament railway station, Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Parliament, like the other two underground City Loop stations (Flagstaff 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. The station services Melbourne's government district, and is located underneath the Parliament House of Victoria and the intersection of busy Bourke Street with Spring Street at the eastern end of the CBD.
