Mentone railway station

Mentone railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Mentone, and opened on 19 December 1881. It was renamed Balcombe on 1 September 1882, and renamed Mentone on 7 January 1884. It is classed as a Premium station and it is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

A number of sidings and a head shunt were removed at the station in late 1984/early 1985. A former siding also existed until the 1940s, running across Station Street to a timber yard. The adjacent railway crossing on Balcombe Rd was the first in Melbourne to have boom gates.

As part of the Bayside Rail Project, new exits and Myki readers were added at the Frankston end of platform 2.
