Will be reviewing. Comments coming soon. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:02, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Update - after further analysis, I don't think this article is ready. The biggest issue is that it doesn't appear to meet criteria 3a. For example, for a nearly 150 year old station, there is very little mentioned in the way of the station's history. The description of the station is rather short too. I would recommend taking a look at other railway station GAs, such as Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall/Chambers Street station, which I just reviewed. While this is a much larger station, it should give you an idea of the kinds of additions you should consider. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:33, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Infobox and lead

Carnegie railway station is a commuter railway station located in the suburb of Carnegie, in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. - suggest rewording to something like "Carnegie railway station is a commuter railway station located in Carnegie, a southeastern suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia."

Is there any reason why all four bus routes are not named in the lead?

Spell out "Flinders Street railway station" in the last lead sentence.

Description

Different figures of the distance to the Flinders Street station than those in the lead.

Combine second and third paragraphs.

History

Any information on the pre-construction background of this station?

When did construction begin?

Surely there were other changes and renovations that took place between 1879 and the present that are worth mentioning?
