Where'd the rumor come from? I haven't heard of it before. Ambivalenthysteria 11:15, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Any chance of someone getting a photo of the new big entry signage that went up this morning? Ambi 13:22, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
"expected to be completed in mid-2006, in time for the 2006 Commonwealth Games". As the Games are in the first quarter of 2006, this is a chronological impossibility. Nurg 23:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
The true fact of the case is that the platforms and the station are going to be at a usable level but not finished. Second the only real area open in the Northern shopping section may be the coach termial
Unless there are any protests I am going to change the information in reference to the Telstra Dome to accurately reflect it's capacity. It has a max seating capacity of 74,000 with the standard for AFL matches being 56,347. This will also coincide with the information found in the relevant Wiki article.

Do Alamein, Williamstown and Sandringham lines go through Southern Cross because someone has changed it saying change at the interchange stations further out. And what is with the 15 platform 22 track business. Is there really 22? I hope someone is not counting the tracks where Telstra Dome currently is. The info is probably right but I just want to double check. Lakeyboy 11:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Is it true that both platforms 1 and 2 can be used by standard gauge trains? This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMztI752wWI&t=206s seems to show only one dual-guage tracked platform.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sylviaelse ( talk • contribs) 07:50, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
It would be really good to get an image of the station prior to its redevelopment. If anyone has an old photo floating around or if there are any other free use images that could be tracked down that would be awesome! Tinkstar1985 09:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Southern Cross Station → Southern Cross railway station, Melbourne — This article should be moved to Southern Cross railway station, Melbourne to maintain a consistent style with every other article on railway stations in Melbourne.
Metlink also lists the station as Southern Cross Railway Station so the move would also be in keeping with the official name of the station by the rail network administration. — Scott Nash ( talk) 04:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Southern Cross railway station, Melbourne → Southern Cross railway station –
The infobox says that there are 24 platforms, but the map on the station's website shows only 1-14 and even this article only identifies 15 & 16 in the "Platforms" sub-category. Are there any underground platforms? I think this needs to be clarified a bit more somewhere on the page. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 09:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Is this an accurate statement for the current era? This is an infrequently updated article; the 500th most recent edit is as far back as 2008, twelve years ago and only two years after the renaming. In my personal experience, Southern Cross is not colloquially thought of as 'Spencer Street station' except perhaps amongst some older adults. Retaining a 'colloquial' name that appears to have actually fallen out of common use seems potentially inaccurate and unencyclopedic. Vaticidalprophet ( talk) 12:06, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
@ SCHolar44: Recent edits added "Victoria station" as the original name of Southern Cross/Spencer Street. I have never heard this before and I cannot find any sources online to back up this claim, are there sources confirming it? There was an old urban legend that the Flinders St building was intended for Victoria station in Mumbai, is that the source of this idea? I didn't want to immediately revert in case I am missing something, but will have to revert if there isn't sufficient evidence. Gracchus250 ( talk) 05:44, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
