List of regional railway stations in Victoria
This is a list of the currently operating Victorian regional railway stations. The stations make up 11 radial train lines, which all operate out of Spencer Street Station in Melbourne, Australia.
Stations listed in bold are terminus stations. Some of these lines, such as the Geelong line have multiple terminuses.
Four previously closed lines - those to Ararat, Bairnsdale, Leongatha and Mildura are in the process of being refurbished as part of the Linking Victoria project. While all were expected to reopen during
2004, the two larger projects, Leongatha and Mildura, have been delayed due to their funding being redirected to cover cost blowouts on the Ararat and Albury-Wodonga line
