List of regional railway stations in Victoria
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of regional railway stations in Victoria
This is a list of the currently operating Victorian regional railway stations. The stations make up 10 radial train lines, which all operate out of Southern Cross Station in Melbourne, Australia, with 3 further lines proposed to be reopened to Vline passenger rail services.
Four lines previously closed to passenger services - those to Ararat, Bairnsdale, Leongatha and Mildura were proposed to be 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. Vline rail services to Echuca also remain suspended.
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.
