Union railway station, Melbourne
Union railway station is a commuter railway station on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, serving the eastern Melbourne suburb of Mount Albert, Victoria, Australia. Union is a premium status below ground station featuring three platforms, two on an island platform and one side platform. It opened on 22 May 2023 after the closure of Mont Albert and  stations. It was built as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. In December 2020, it was announced that Mont Albert and Surrey Hills stations (approximately  apart) would be closed, and replaced with a station in between them. This was due to the fact that level crossing removal works on Union Road and Mont Albert Road required a rebuild of the stations, which would have violated rail safety standards as they were located on curved tracks. Moving the stations to straighter track would necessitate moving them closer together, hence the decision to only build one station with the western entry in Surrey Hills and an eastern entry in Mont Albert. The name of the new station was announced as Union on 23 March 2022, selected both to represent the unity of the two stations and for the nearby Union Road shopping village. Platforms and services
