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]
