A large Metcard machine is located at the entrance to platform 1, which is able to dispense most ticketing options available and also accept notes and coins. A small Metcard is located at the entrance to platform 2. Crossovers are located at the DOWN and UP end's of the station, which is used for disprutions or trackwork.

[edit] History
Bell station opened on Tuesday, October 8, 1889 as Preston - Bell Street. It was later renamed Bell in 1905. A random fact about Bell station is that it has the only monosyllabic name in the entire Melbourne suburban rail system (depending upon how one says Jewell).
