VenothOctober 11, 2016Be it day or night, shutter bugs would love taking photographs of this place. Do not miss it if you're one.
- VenothSeptember 28, 2016An iconic station thats been around for centuries now. Great for photo bugs!!
Mimi TaherApril 30, 2018It’s been recently reopened after the renovation and looks amazing specially the new entrance from the riverside
Vic McGinOctober 5, 2018Go through the underground passage and admire all the beautiful shops. And don’t forget to check out the magic Old signs.
Electra PalmerApril 23, 2015It's the centre of everything you can take the train to everywhere from there! There are many places near the station plus the federation square!
Dave LDecember 28, 2015There are at least two contactless payment myki machines here. One on Flinders and one near the tram stops on St Kilda.
Do: Work your legs and build your courtesy simultaneously, stand to give up your seat to those who need it. Don't: Work your delts by pushing people out of the way;)
Up there in the top 5 stations in the CBD to catch a train from.
David WarwickMarch 15, 2012Listen to the announcer at Flinders St, because you have no chance of understanding the garbled nonsense at Southern Cross - unless you're a mermaid #ForThePotters
Brian LoganJune 21, 2011Don't be passive-aggressive. Others may have had a bad day, or simply be oblivious of the distress they are causing you. Just remain polite and serene.
- Melbourne Heart FCMarch 31, 2011A Melbourne icon, Flinders Street Station is one of the major public transport hubs in Victoria. With trams and buses in close proximity, the station provides the perfect stopping point as you make yo
Redzanur RahmanAugust 24, 2012You can hop on a train/tram/bus/taxi to get to anywhere. It's the hub of transportation for Melbourne city!
Avoid the bathrooms late on a Friday/Saturday night. Horrifying stuff.
Richie TheDecember 30, 2011Go via the subway exit to degraves st and discover hidden shops and a contemporary art space.
Meet people on the steps under the clocks, corner of Swanston and Flinders st
The potato cakes (aka scallops) from the little food shop on platform 1 are pretty greasy, but nice enough when you're desperate.
Alexandra WFebruary 14, 2015Buses to Avalon Airport do not like people taking beverages & food inboard, so leave enough time for a snack before you climb aboard!- Omar AhsanOctober 18, 2014when they change the train schedule on the display panels at the last minute. so good.
Don't forget, Metro advises not taking your helmet off in outer space, nor using a clothes dryer as a hiding place.
The trains are terribly terribly run and PTV should be replaced... but I like the location of this station, a few little shops in it and it’s close to trams to go further up into the city
Central point for all suburban train lines. Toilets are only to be used in emergency (very dirty). Great station overall but in desperate need of an upgrade.
Dmitry YakhnovAugust 7, 2013By putting warning sign you don't fix leaking ceiling. No changes in last 5 years, should we call Fix It Felix for help?
Short walk to many attractions and connecting routes to attractions.
Myki top-up stations. Ambiguous terminology coupled with an unintuitive obtuse user interface. I'm so proud of Victoria's public transport monstrosity.
Warrick MackrillNovember 5, 2011I love the weekend, on the sandy line you don't have to wait in the dungeon on platform 13.
Spot the freaks at the entrance all times of the day and night!
If you see elderly passengers or pregnant ladies, get off your butt and let them sit down. It's called common courtesy.
After 5pm on Weekdays you'll be able to pick up a free copy of mX for you to enjoy a good read on your trip.
You don't need to wait for the ad when using Metro WiFi, just click login then open a new tab or change the URL.
Kostas WilliamsNovember 22, 2010Hot and sweaty on the platforms but a lot cooler 6 meters below. Along the pedestrian passage between the river and Flinders Street
Trains for Richmond usually go all the way around the city loop first.
Giuseppe SpinaFebruary 24, 2015Ok the toilets are a horrible place to be but such a bustling busy port with more than enough transport to get you everywhere.
Watch out for express and limited express trains, got on one on the belgrave, lucky it only went 2 past my stop and I could quickly catch the train back.
If you caught the Craigieburn line from Southern Cross, don't assume you're still on the Craigieburn line when you reach Flinders St station. Big mistake.
Mental note to self - platform 12 and 13 are the mystery platforms behind platform 10. Knowing this earlier could have saved my broken foot and the business meeting. Fail.com! Just drive in future...
Kay EllSeptember 16, 2011R.E.S.P.E.C.T = R- Race for the train in peak hour, E- Expect train delays, S- Stop starring, P- Please smile, E- Ease up on the music, its annoying, C- Courtesy, T- Time - expect to be late for work!
- Exit through the Degraves St subway to avoid the massive crowds on the concourse.
The red engine kiosk on platforms 2&3 decided to catch fire this morning! No feral potato cakes now :/ or cold dim sims
