This is another one of those old style railway stations. Actually, I have been through this station…read morequite a number of times since I had a couple of friends that lived down here. While it isn't a major station, the old style wooden buildings, and the walkway, are quite lovely. Mind you, disability access is a little lacking, particularly when it comes to the pedestrian bridge.

This is certainly one of those stations that I wouldn't recommend getting off at to check out the…read morebeauty of its architecture because, well, there isn't any. Basically it is one of those rather ugly functional buildings that in my opinion is a bit of an eyesore. In fact I sometime think that Melbourne has way too many railway stations, and one's commute time could be decrease dramatically by removing a number of them, such as this one.

I did catch a train from here years ago, and I believe that this used to be one of those stations…read morewhere form basically follows function. However that has changed since they decided to elevate the railway line over the road, namely so that traffic wouldn't bank up whenever a train passed by. Well, the station looks much more modern these days, and has a lot more facilities as well, including a warm waiting room, a ticket office, and of course toilets (which are sorely lacking from a lot of the older stations). Another thing that I certainly appreciate about this station is that it happens to be located near some shops, which means that it is good to stop off at for a coffee, or grabbing a bite to eat.

Caught the Bluebird shuttle bus on 22 February 2015 from Tullamarine Airport to Melbourne CBD. The…read moreairport ticketing clerk (not employed by Bluebird) did not inform Bluebird to pick me up, so I waited an hour before calling to see what had happened. The staff member on the phone apologised and quickly arranged for a shuttle bus to pick me up and arrived within 10 minutes. The driver was also courteous and provided me with a complimentary voucher for when I next go to the airport. Despite the issues I encountered, there was no fault on Bluebird's part, so I would recommend them to others. The shuttle bus was also clean and comfortable.

I decided to try and use Bluebird Airport Shuttle instead of my typical way home. I am VERY…read moredisappointed. I waited an hour for my shuttle to come and every time I called customer service they estimated the time that it would be there very wrong. They said 15 minutes and then 20 went by and this happened three times. I have a lacrosse game two hours after my landing and assumed I would make it but I no longer will be able to play in it because I waited so long for my shuttle. I will never be using Bluebird Airport Pickup again and am very disappointed and annoyed. This is absolutely ridiculous and I am disappointed that I even have to pay for such service. I usually never post bad reviews or send annoyed emails but I honestly can't believe this. If I hadn't waited so long already I would have gotten home another way. They are unreliable. Do not use.

One thing that I love about Victoria are some of the old style stations that you see around the…read moreinner-city suburbs, and this is certainly one of them. Okay, I suspect that they are slowly disappearing due to the need to grade separate the railways, which means that in part if you want to check out these memorials to a buy-gone age you need to be quick. While it is basically a suburban station, the old style wooden design certainly gives it some character.
