Jolimont railway station

Jolimont railway station is located on the Hurstbridge and Mernda lines in Victoria, Australia, serving the inner Melbourne suburb of East Melbourne and not all trains stop here. It opened on 21 October 1901. The original timber station building was manufactured in England in 1899. In the late 1920s it was sold and re-erected in Canberra on the site of the present Jolimont Centre. After being damaged by fire, it was demolished in 1977.

Jolimont is one of two closest stations to the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the other being Richmond. During events at the MCG extra exit gates are open to reduce crowding.

Additional entrances and exits were provided in 1973. In 1985 it was renamed Jolimont MCG, and at the time it was noted that the station was unique in that no advertising was permitted on the station site, according to the construction finance contract.

Extra shelter and seats were provided on both platforms in November 2015.
