Frankston Railway Station

Urgh, where do you even start? There’s nothing wrong with the station itself per se, just the wildlife that inhabits it. Just like animals, the people here are barefoot, shrill, territorial and at times frightening. It’s best not to make eye contact and to cover any possessions of value. They’re attracted to shiny things.
The VLine train is constantly delayed by suicide attempts, the antics of juvenile delinquents or most recently by some trash bombs standing on the tracks after having a domestic. The train staff can’t get paid enough in my opinion.
On the plus side, the little kiosk is good. I usually buy a newspaper to put down to line the train seats and a coffee to get me through. #worstplaceever

Not really a fan.
I used to live in Rye so I have spent many a day travelling on the wonderful Frankston train line. The fact that they have classical music blaring out of the speakers in an attempt to calm (or deter!) the wonderful Frankston locals from hanging at the train station drinking and what not.
During the day its ok. Lots of people around so you can feel mildly safe (as safe as you can in Frankston). I’d steer clear at night.
I’d avoid Frankston wherever possible, though as its really the only connection down to the Peninsula, it’s not always possible.

I’m stuck between giving Frankston 1 or 2 stars.
It isn’t extremely dangerous — there really is no fear of getting attacked there or anything like that. Essentially, it is just a really trashy place. My friend lives in Mornington so I’ve gone through Frankston a few times to get to his place and every time I’m there, there has been consistently drunk young people half-​dressed walking around barefoot.
Nothing troublesome, just obnoxious and trashy. Every now and then you come across a druggie, and the taxi services rig their meters sometimes (confirmed by an honest taxi driver lady). And as a girl, you might come across drunken men who are less-​than-​subtle about what they want from you.
For the most part, Frankston Station isn’t trashy. But will you be awfully uncomfortable and want to leave ASAP? Yes.
