| Trains in Melbourne | |
| Trains are the fastest way to reach distant suburbs. An underground loop system feeding into seventeen suburban lines connects the city centre’s five train stations: Spencer Street, which also serves as the station for interstate and country trains; Flagstaff on the corner of Latrobe and William streets; Museum beween Elizabeth and Swanston streets; Parliament on Spring Street; and Flinders Street. The last is the main suburban station, with its clocks detailing the times of all train departures (“under the clocks” is a traditional Melbourne meeting place). | |
| Bikes can be carried free, except Monday to Friday from 7am until 9.30am and from 4pm until 6pm, when an extra adult concession fee has to be paid. Only trains will allow surfboards to be brought on board, for which an extra adult concession fee is payable. | |
