Merri railway station is located on the South Morang line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Northcote opening as Northcote on 8 October 1889, being renamed Merri on 10 December 1906.〔(Merri ) Vicsig〕 The original conception of the station was to act as a major junction in a planned "North Suburban Railway System." The Argus reported in 1887 that "The Station at Union-street, as shown on our plan, must necessarily be the most important in the Northern System, as lines branch from this point to Preston and Whittlesea on the north ; Heidelberg, Kew, &.c., on the east; Carlton, Royal-park, North Melbourne, and Spencer-street on the south-west; Fitzroy, East Melbourne, and Flinders-street on the south; and if the alternative route is adopted, Clifton-hill, Collingwood, Richmond, and Flinders street on the south east." 〔(The Argus 9 December 1887 )〕 While land sale plans advertised the upcoming construction of the ''Grand Central Junction Station,''〔("Fitzroy Junction Estate" land sale advertisement 1887 )〕 The station building was rebuilt in 1910 to accommodate an increased population in the area.〔(Darebin Heritage Study 2000 - Merri - Northcote )〕 The nearby level crossing at Charles Street had hand operated gates until 1924, when they were replaced by a single gate operated from the nearby signal box following several serious traffic accidents.〔(The Argus, 13 Nov 1924 )〕 ==Platforms & services== Merri has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' South Morang line services.〔(South Morang Line timetable ) Public Transport Victoria〕 Platform 1: *South Morang line: all stations services to Flinders Street Platform 2: *South Morang line: all stations services to South Morang 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「Merri railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
