Belgrave railway station
Belgrave railway station is the terminus of the suburban electrified Belgrave line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Belgrave, and it opened on 18 December 1900 as Monbulk. It was renamed Belgrave on 21 November 1904. The station was originally on the Upper Ferntree Gully – Gembrook narrow gauge line. It closed, along with the rest of the line, on 30 April 1954. After the line from Upper Ferntree Gully to Belgrave was converted to broad gauge, the rebuilt station reopened on 19 February 1962. The new station was located further down the line  than the original narrow-gauge station, which was approximately where the current station car park is located. In the early hours of 23 November 1989, Hitachi carriage 219M was destroyed in an arson attack whilst stabled at the station. It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 2 July 1996. In 2018, the Victorian Government announced it would fund the construction of a multi-deck park and ride facility, along with a new bridge to connect the station to the Burwood Highway at the Up end of the station. For the 2019 financial year, the station saw a patronage  of 389,750, for the months between July 2018 to the end of June 2019.
