Royal Park — Attraction in Melbourne

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...

Nice, small station just a couple stations of sothen cross and flagstaff. Station quite old though but zoo is about 5 minutes away from it, tram right next to station. Could do with some paint and one platform had just about nothing on it whilst one had an old building. There is no bord saying when the next train is there's only an button that tells you the next train it is really loud. A pretty good station for what it...

By far the best station on the Upfield line. Not only does it deliver you to the door of the esteemed Melbourne Zoo, but the journey through Royal Park itself (which I happen to have reviewed favourably in the past due to parties I'm told occur there) is a blissful, tree-filled escape from the droll brown/grey fencing that dominates so much of the train-enthusiasts experience of Melbourne's public transport...
