Regent station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Mernda line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the northern suburb of Reservoir, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and opened on 8 October 1889, with the current station provided in 1970.[1]

Initially opened as Preston-Regent Street, the station was given its current name of Regent on 1 August 1905.[1]

History

Named after nearby Regent Street,[2] Regent station opened when the Inner Circle line was extended from North Fitzroy to Reservoir.[1]

In 1967, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the Regent Street level crossing, located nearby in the up direction from the station.[3] In 1970, the present station buildings were provided.[4][5]
