Main articles

Example articles

Progress

  • Every currently-open station has an article with at least a station adjacency table (see below).
  • Very few stations even have an introductory paragraph. Finishing these is the task at hand.
  • Flinders Street and Spencer Street have good articles, and no work is needed. (Except a picture of Spencer Street)
  • The City Loop underground stations have basic articles, as do some premium stations outside the CBD. Beyond intro lines, major stations need more complete articles. This is the next step.
  • Eventually, both the open and closed stations ought to have articles like Dennis (see above).

Information To Include

Suggestions only at this stage. Some of this data could go in an infobox, the rest (e.g. location, line, etc.) in the body text.

  • 3-letter station code (listed in List of Melbourne railway stations)
  • Line(s) serviced
  • Ticketing zone
  • Distance from Flinders Street Station in km (available in Melway)
  • Location - suburb, (Local Gov. Area?), adjacent street(s)
  • Nearby landmarks
  • Terminus station/shuttle services/line branches
  • Premium (staffed) station status
  • Number of platforms/tracks and arrangement (a diagram?)
  • Dates - building begun/completed, opened, electrified (if opened pre-electrification)
  • All stop/express status
  • Tram/bus connections
