Final Days of Trains at Surrey Hills Station - Melbourne Trains

Howdy,
So back again, I admit that part of the reason why we didn't have extra videos for part two was the amount of work needed to upload, as here's the third video in 5 days.
Today we complete our look at the recent permanent station closures, this time focusing on Surrey Hills Station, both the older and newer of the pair. What do I mean about this? Well, the station was opened first in 1883, however the buildings were rebuilt in 1962, making the main significance being the platforms unlike the heritage listed Mont Albert Station.
Surrey Hills Station was closed in two stages. Firstly, DOWN trains ceased stopping on the 30th of January to allow the access to platform 3 to be demolished, then finally the rest of the station closure at just after 8:30PM on the 17th of February, 2023 finishing off the 139 years of serving the Surrey Hills community.

Anyways, one more video to go to complete this holiday season, so catch everyone again very soon.
