Flagstaff is an underground Railway Station in the Suburban Train Network of Melbourne , Australia . It is one of five stations (and one of three underground) that comprises the City Loop , which encircles the Central Business District . The station was built in the 1980s and takes its name from the nearby Flagstaff Hill , a significant site in Melbourne's early history.
