  “SMALL STATION ON BELGRAVE AND LILYDALE LINE The station infrastructure is quite old and there are no retail services or facilities onsite. Some trains bypass East Camberwell, so be sure to chcekl the timetable!”

  “Good local station for the Ringwood/Lilydale line. It is right next to Boroondara Park and the anniversary trail which is nice, although not all services stop here and there is limited parking.”

  “Really quaint station that is a bit too close to Camberwell that gets stopping express services. Probably why the station doesn't get used much in the peak. Way to close to the Alamein line junction too. It is brilliant for trainspotting though, because the trains pass through at high speeds in the peak and you can also see the Alamein line branch off over the bridge. There is a road bridge not too far from the station that gives you an amazing view of Camberwell one way and East Camberwell the other. Does have the new PID's too that aren't like the Dot Matrix Indicators (DMI's).”
