Southern Cross railway station (until 2005 known as Spencer Street station) is a major railway station in Docklands, Melbourne. It is on Spencer Street, between Collins and La Trobe streets, at the western edge of the Melbourne central business district. The Docklands Stadium sports arena is 500 metres (1,640 ft 5 in) north-west of the station.

The station is owned, operated and maintained by Civic Nexus, a subsidiary of IFM Investors and operating as Southern Cross Station Pty Ltd,[6] under a 30-year lease to 2036 from the Victorian State Government, as part of a public-private partnership.[7] Southern Cross Station contracts Infranexus for management services. Infranexus is also wholly owned by IFM.[8]

The station is the terminus of the state's regional railway network operated by V/Line, The Overland rail service to Adelaide, and NSW TrainLink XPT services to Sydney. It is also served by metropolitan rail services operated by Metro Trains, and connects with Flinders Street station and the underground City Loop. It is the second busiest railway station in Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 19.5 million metropolitan passenger movements recorded in 2018/19.[3] In 2018/19 the station also recorded an additional 6.3 million regional passengers through the V/Line network.[4]

Southern Cross also has a coach terminal underneath the Spencer Outlet shopping complex. SkyBus services to Melbourne Airport and since 2017 to Avalon Airport[9] operate from there, as well as Firefly Express and Greyhound Australia interstate coach services and V/Line coach services to Mildura, Yarram, Mansfield, and other parts of Victoria not served by rail.
