Box Hill railway station is located on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Box Hill opening on 1 December 1882.〔(Mont Albert ) Vicsig〕 It is located beneath the Box Hill Central Shopping Centre. It is the only Melbourne metropolitan station to be located underground besides those forming the City Loop. In 2011/12 it was the 8th busiest station in Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 2.7 million passenger movements.〔(Station Patronage Research ) Public Transport Victoria〕 At the time, Box Hill was a separate town, with several hundred residents. In 1895, a large market was opened next to the station. On 19 December 1922, the section from Flinders Street to Box Hill was electrified, and this was continued to Ringwood the following month. In early 1983 the current station was built to eliminate the level crossing at Station Street. Box Hill Central Shopping Centre and the bus terminal above it were built over the top of the station. This was completed in 1985. Platform 1 was used between 24 April 1983 and 9 June 1984 while the current station was being built, and has been retained for possible future use. The platform has no track or lighting, with a McDonalds Restaurant since opened over the ramp from the station concourse. During January 2007 the line was closed between Box Hill and Blackburn to facilitate grade separation works at the nearby Middleborough Road level crossing. Buses were operated between the two stations for the duration, and to cater for this a temporary bus interchange was constructed at Box Hill. The interchange was built directly on top of the tracks, which had been paved between the rails, to the east of the station, and was connected to platforms 2 and 3 by a raised walkway.〔(Middleborough Road project ) Vicsig〕 With the completion of the project's major works at the end of January 2007, the bus interchange was removed. It was upgraded to a Premium station in 1996. North of the station the three tracks merge into two. ==Platforms & services== Box Hill has one island platform with two faces and one side platform. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Lilydale and Belgrave line services.〔(Lilydale Line timetable ) Public Transport Victoria〕〔(Belgrave Line timetable ) Public Transport Victoria〕 Platforms 2: *Lilydale line: services to Flinders Street *Belgrave line: services to Flinders Street Platforms 3: *Lilydale line: services to Flinders Street *Belgrave line: services to Flinders Street *Lilydale line: services to Lilydale *Belgrave line: services to Belgrave Platforms 4: *Lilydale line: services to Lilydale *Belgrave line: services to Belgrave 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Box Hill railway station, Melbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
