- Ripponlea is a charming station on the Sandringham line. It features well kept gardens and well maintained old station buildings. Hope you enjoy the video!

I've always like Ripponlea station, and the Orthodox Jewish community in that neighbourhood really gives the whole place an interesting and unique vibe
my former home station, brings back memories 🥺
A gorgeous station. My favourite on the network 👍
This used to be my local station. I missed the train at least once as I was not quick enough to cross over that bridge. Ripponlea house is amazing. It features in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. If you live in the City of Glen Eira you used to be able to get a card that allowed you to visit the gardens for free.
Ripponlea House and Gardens are on Hotham St and open every day. Well worth a visit
Ripponlea Mansion is well and truly extant, owned and run by the National Trust!
Also the home of ABC TV Melbourne studios within the same grounds.
ABC no longer there, shutdown and sold a few years ago. Riddled with asbestos demolition started a couple of months ago. (I drive down Gordon St a few times a week)
sandringham cant really cope with 10 minute services as it has no turn back points and only 1 platform at sandrigham, somthing needs to be done but everyone is kind of blaming everyone else. Ripponlea is possibly the easiest to add a third platform given the lack of space at the others, other than perhaps reusing brighton beach but that is a bit too far down the line.
I am also SHOCKED at your lack of mention of the LACK OF SHELTER, when it is sunny here there is about 4 seats that are covered, you have ripped into other stations with far more shelter. I am deeply disappointed in your inconsistency.
Yeah I got wooed by all the beautiful gardens, so I definitely didn't give the lack of shelter adequate consideration. At least there is a decent amount of space in the waiting rooms on both platforms. They could definitely add one more shelter on each side of the platform though!
@@melbournerailwayvideosyou should do Pakenham East for your next video station 222 clog 222
I'm definitely planning on getting down there soon after opening, but I probably won't be able to get there within the first week or two because of uni commitments.
