Bell is an elevated premium station, consisting of two side platforms connected by staircases, lifts and a ground level concourse.

Bell station is currently served by the Mernda line, part of the Melbourne railway network.

[9] Bell railway station is located in the north-eastern suburb of Preston in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

[6] The station features a ground level concourse, accessible by stairs and lifts up to the elevated platforms.

[10][11] The station building is made out of local roofscapes abstracted into three-dimensional patterns and the primary colours are pink and purple colour glazing, post-war rooftops to the main station building and references to the local art and culture scene.

[12][13] The elevated platforms have shelters over seating to protect from Melbourne's weather and has secure bike parking.

[16][17] The station was situated next to the former Bell Street level crossing, which was upgraded with manually operated boom barriers in 1969, replacing the previous interlocking gates.

[20] Also in that month, pedestrian gates were provided at the former Bell Street level crossing, in combination with the manually operated road boom barriers.

[28] During the major construction period, the Mernda line was closed for a few times at a maximum of 12 days in 2021 and 2022 to facilitate further piling and excavation works.

[29] Between 17 May to 30 May 2022, the Mernda line was shut down for 12 days to remove the Oakover Road and Bell Street level crossings, get the first part of the elevated railway bridge ready for trains to run on and demolish the old ground level station platforms.

[30][31] On 30 May 2022, the first part of the 2 kilometre bridge opened with only a single track temporarily until 26 August 2022 because they could not close the Mernda line for longer than 12 days due to the requirement of trains to regularly access the Epping maintenance yard facility.

[13] The Oakover Green space has features a playground, landscaped gardens, seating areas and a yarning circle developed by Wurundjeri artists.
