Southern Cross Train Station

When passenger, train and birds competes.

Southern Cross Station, formerly known as Spencer Street Station, began operations way back in 1859. The station is located on Spencer Street, between Collins and La Trobe Streets, and is the third busiest railway station in Melbourne, with average daily passenger traffic of 100,000. It serves the regional railway network operated by V/Line, The Overland rail service to Adelaide and the CountryLink XPT service to Sydney.

"Southern Cross Station is popular for its undulated trapezoidal roof system covering an entire city block."

The station witnessed a redevelopment project carried out between 2002 and 2006 that increased the number of platforms to 14. Construction on two new platforms (15 and 16) began in 2009 and was completed in December 2013.

The 2002-2006 redevelopment project was undertaken to handle the current and anticipated increase in the number of new rail services. It formed part of the Victorian Government’s $2bn "Revitalising Victorian Rail" programme to improve passenger and rail service across the state.
