Small station on the Upfield line. Best feature is that its just a brief walk across from the Zoo. Worst feature is the infrequent services on this line .. typically 20 minutes between trains even at peak times. There is a small entry building on the "to city" side of the platform which also has a myki machine but there isnt anything else (ie no food outlets/ newsagency etc). I sometimes travel from the city (north melb station) to Royal Park and, despite the infrequency of services, usually have no problem getting a seat. If you are in a hurry to get to the city and have just missed a train, keep in mind that the route 55 tram runs approx every 10 mins and their is a stop right next to the train station!

Gave it only 3 starts because of the low frequency timetable
