Mentone railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Mentone, and opened on 19 December 1881. It was renamed Balcombe on 1 September 1882, and renamed Mentone on 7 January 1884.[1] It is classed as a Premium Station, upgraded from Host Station status in 2008.
