Rebuilt stations

These stations previously existed in slightly different locations, and/or at a higher or lower level (for example, originally at ground level then lowered into a cutting), to their modern-day counterparts. They may be considered the closed predecessors of today's stations.

Footscray late 1800s - two separate stations for the Williamstown and Sunbury lines were merged into the current site
Fawkner (13 July 1903) - on the Upfield line; current station opened on 10 December 1906
Lalor (5 August 1952) - on the Epping line
Sandown Park (16 May 1955) - on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines; current station opened on 19 June 1965
Officer (13 May 1956) - on the Pakenham line
Ardeer (August 1956) - on the Melton line (greater metropolitan line)
Epping (29 November 1959) - terminus of the Epping line; current station opened on 30 November 1964
Glen Waverley (24 February 1964) - terminus of the Glen Waverley line
Canterbury (19 June 1966) - on the Belgrave/Lilydale line; current high level station opened on 15 September 1968 and was completed and the Canterbury Rd level crossing closed on 22 December 1968
Tottenham low level (27 July 1982) - on the Sydenham line
Mornington (1987) - on the Mornington line; new station located on the demolished Stopping Place 16 station and opened 2000
Narre Warren (3 June 1995) - on the Pakenham line
Watergardens (Sydenham) (2003) - on the Sydenham line
Box Hill (1882) - on the Belgrave/Lilydale line; track lowered and station incorporated into Box Hill Central shopping centre (1983–1985).

Richmond station (the gateway to the city for all eastern lines) has had several incarnations:

Punt Road low level (8 February 1859 - 12 December 1859)
Swan Street low level (12 December 1859 - 1885)
Richmond high level (1885 - 26 March 1960) - the opening of this station overlapped with the closure of Swan Street

Also, Melbourne's two central stations were, or are being rebuilt:

First Flinders Street Station (built 1854) - originally Melbourne Terminus
Current Flinders Street Station (built 1910)
Spencer Street Station (built 1859) - originally Batman's Hill Station
Spencer Street Station is currently being rebuilt, and will be known as Southern Cross Station when the redesign is completed
