墨爾本中心站（英文：Melbourne Central）是澳洲墨爾本近郊鐵路網絡的一個地底鐵路車站。它是環繞商業中心區的市環線（City Loop）五個車站其中之一，位於商業中心區北端La Trobe Street、Swanston Street和伊利沙伯街（Elizabeth Street）交界的地底。車站以其上蓋，墨爾本中心購物中心（Melbourne Central Shopping Centre）命名。 墨爾本中心並非墨爾本的鐵路終站，Flinders Street是近郊鐵路的終點站；南十字車站是區域鐵路的總站。

歷史

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.

設施

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.

美食廣場把車站分成兩部並不相連的大堂，乘客必須先出閘再繞路往返。

• 伊利沙伯街大堂設有3條通往地面的扶手電梯、售票處、閘機、洗手間、三條往月台的扶手電梯和樓梯。

• 斯旺斯頓街大堂在2000年開始改建，閘內設有洗手間、兩部升降機和五條扶手電梯往月台。閘外是分割車站大堂的美食廣場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.
