I won't change it, because I know I won't win this one, but Ferntree Gully station was renamed Fern Tree Gully in 1972, and has never been formally changed since, although the two-word version probably appears on all timetables and signs by now.

And it is debateable whether Belgrave has a passing loop. Yes, trains can "pass" there, but a passing loop? On the other hand, being pedantic about it likely leads to awkward sentences.

Irregardless of the 'official' name, it's Ferntree Gully on all the maps, timetables, destination boards, signs, and anything else presented to the public, and I'm sure it's known as Ferntree Gully to everyone that uses it, and to boot, the suburb itself is officially Ferntree Gully. It could be noted on the station's page though. As for Belgrave, it does at least have an island platform, which is why I added it to the list. Trains can pass one another, from a certain point of view, but I don't want to get pedantic either. T.PK 10:40, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
