Overview map.
This is a list of former railway stations and railway lines in Victoria , Australia. Many of these stations and lines have been abandoned or demolished. There is a strong desire by communities to have many of these re-opened to better link Regional Victoria to the state capital Melbourne . Public transport has become increasingly popular in the 21st century for convenience and affordability reasons. For closed railway stations in suburban Melbourne, see List of closed railway stations in Melbourne .
