Which Melbourne LGA has the most train stations in it?

Taking a break from talking about station names, we now look at some data I have compiled.

The data determines how many train stations (Served by Metro and V/line) are located in each LGA.

There's a table below, although you can look at the sheet I made here.

Some notes

- There are three stations included on this list (Cheltenham, Flemington Bridge, and Highett) that are located within two LGAs. I have counted these stations twice, one for each LGA they are in.

- Boroondara and Stonnington Councils are both tied for the highest amount of stations for any LGA.

- Manningham does not have any stations, so it was not included in this list.

- Port Phillip is the LGA with the least amount of stations, with only two (Balaclava and Ripponlea).

- Melton is the LGA with the least amount of Metro stations, only having Diggers Rest.

- Cardinia and Melton are tied for the LGAs with the most stations exclusively served by V/Line, Cardinia has Nar Nar Goon, Tynong, Garfield, and Bunyip, while Melton has Caroline Springs, Rockbank, Cobblebank, and Melton.


That is all!

Thanks for reading! I will be updating the document in the near future, make sure to follow my twitter @strangemelbour1 to see when that happens! Make sure to share and comment!

Station Names on Melbourne's Sunbury Line

Image
Moving along, we have another part of the name origin series that will be covered in this article. Today's topic, the Sunbury Line! Sunbury Line stations from the PTV map, does not include White City or Holden. This article will cover every station on the Sunbury Line from Middle Footscray to Sunbury. This includes eleven stations that are open and two that are currently closed. For information on stations such as North Melbourne, South Kensington, Footscray, you can view my article on the Williamstown line, which can be found here . With that out of the way, let us find out where some of these names come from! Middle Footscray Middle Footscray's name is of obvious origin, being right in between Footscray and West Footscray. I have already written in an earlier post that Footscray is named after the town of Foots Cray in England. West Footscray Footscray is the westernmost of the Footscray area's three stations and is located in the suburb of the same name. Prior to Septem

Station Names on Melbourne's Williamstown Line

Hi there! This post is the second part of a multipart series documenting the origins of the names given to stations that are apart of the Melbourne Metro network. This week's post will cover the fairly quiet Williamstown Line, which will include stations shared with the Werribee line, such as Newport and Yarraville. But before we get into this week's topic, I just want to mention a few things: Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who has read the blog in the past few days, my post about the names of Melbourne's City Loop stations seemed to go down pretty well. Secondly, thank you to everyone who gave me feedback on how to improve this blog. I have added new information about Melbourne's City Loop, which you can read here. Thirdly, the next part of this series will cover the station's served by the Werribee Line, coming in two weeks. Next week's post will not have anything to do with station names. Now, with all that all said and done, let us head towards the m

Walking from Melbourne to Ballarat

Image
Between 8:30PM on the 24th of June 2021 and 10PM on the 25th of June 2021, I walked from my home in the inner-suburbs in Melbourne and ended up at Ballarat railway station, a journey of 111km. I was originally going to write a blog post about the trip as a whole, describing all the roads I went down and stuff like that. Problem is, I am a terrible writer and I was never satisfied with what I wrote for that blog, so I am going to just make a post about some of the moments I had doing this long and ardous trip. The public toilet map lied to me There is a website known as the National Public Toilet Map that does exactly what it says on the tin, show you a map of toilets. While it has been useful to me on numerous occassions, this trip was not one of those times. The map informed me that there was a toilet at a BP in Caroline Springs that had a toilet avaliable at all times of day, however, upon asking if I could use the toilet, I was informed that the toilet was closed and would not open
