墨尔本中心站（英文：Melbourne Central）是澳洲墨尔本近郊铁路网络的一个地底铁路车站。它是环绕商业中心区的市环线（City Loop）五个车站其中之一，位于商业中心区北端La Trobe Street、Swanston Street和伊利沙伯街（Elizabeth Street）交界的地底。车站以其上盖，墨尔本中心购物中心（Melbourne Central Shopping Centre）命名。 墨尔本中心并非墨尔本的铁路终站，Flinders Street是近郊铁路的终点站；南十字车站是区域铁路的总站。

历史

The station was built using cut and cover construction. In December 1973 to permit excavation of the station, La Trobe Street and its tram tracks were temporarily relocated to the south onto the site of what is now the Melbourne Central Shopping Centre, and moved back on completion of the work in 1978. The pit was 168 metres long and 22.5 metres wide, 29 metres deep at the Swanston Street end and 22 metres at Elizabeth Street. Seven layers of struts were used to support the excavation, with 2600 tonnes of steel temporary supports required.

The station opened as Museum on January 24, 1981 and was the first station on the loop to open. Initially services only operated for the Burnley and Caufield Groups on platforms 2 and 4, trains started using platform 1 on October 31, 1982, and platform 3 on May 1, 1984. The Elizabeth Street entrance to the station was opened on 5 April 1982. It was named Museum after the adjacent Melbourne Museum in the State Library of Victoria complex on Swanston Street. The Museum moved in 1995 to its current premises beside the Royal Exhibition Building in the Carlton Gardens. It was renamed on February 16, 1997, after Melbourne Central Shopping Centre, which was built above and around the station concourse in the early 1990s. At peak times with a train arriving every 2.5 minutes, the station has a passenger flow of 30,000 per hour. Three elevators were initially provided, as well as 21 Escalators.

设施

Melbourne Central, like the other two underground City Loop stations (Parliament and Flagstaff) has an underground concourse and two levels of platforms below it (2 island platforms and four tracks). Each platform serves a separate group of rail lines that leave the Loop and radiate out into the city's suburbs. It is a premium station, meaning that it is staffed from first to last train and provides extra customer services.

美食广场把车站分成两部并不相连的大堂，乘客必须先出闸再绕路往返。

• 伊利沙伯街大堂设有3条通往地面的扶手电梯、售票处、闸机、洗手间、三条往月台的扶手电梯和楼梯。

• 斯旺斯顿街大堂在2000年开始改建，闸内设有洗手间、两部升降机和五条扶手电梯往月台。闸外是分割车站大堂的美食广场Inside the ticket barriers there are toilets (currently closed for refurbishment), and two lifts and five escalators going to the platforms. Outside is a food court, an exit to La Trobe Street and Level LG of the shopping centre (which passes under Little Lonsdale Street). There is also a lift and four escalators to the shopping centre level above. On the next level up (Level G) there is access to Little Lonsdale and La Trobe Streets via the shopping centre. Access to Swanston Street is via three escalators rising another floor (or the lift to level 1 and a 70m walk), and a walk through the shopping centre past the shot tower.

The redevelopment works at the Swanston Street entrance to the station have been criticised by many due to the difficulty in accessing the street from the station itself.
