Glen Waverley railway station is a commuter railway station located in the suburb of Glen Waverley in the south-east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[1] The station originally opened in 1930 as part of the line's extension from Eastmalvern.[2] The station consists of a single island platform with two faces, that is connected to Kingsway via a ramp on the station's eastern end.[1]
Glen Waverley is the terminus of the Glen Waverley line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network.[3] Additionally, the station is served by ten bus routes, including SmartBus route 902.[4] The station is approximately Шаблон:Convert or around a 35-minute train ride from Flinders Street station.[5]
Description
Glen Waverley is located in the suburb of Glen Waverley. On the north side of the station is Railway Parade, on the south side of the station is Coleman Parade and Kingsway is to the east. The station is owned by VicTrack, a state government agency, and is operated by Metro Trains Melbourne.[6]
The length of the island platform is approximately Шаблон:Convert, long enough for a Metro Trains 7-car High Capacity Metro Trains (HCMT). There is a single station building that primarily serves as a waiting room.[6]
The main car park at the station is located on Railway Parade, just north of the station.[6] Although there are ramps, they do not fully comply with the Disability Discrimination Act of 1992 as the gradient of the ramps is steeper than the maximum of 1:14 allowed under the Act.[6][7]
History
Glen Waverley station opened on 5 May 1930, when the railway line was extended from Eastmalvern.[2] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after a township which was privately surveyed in 1853.[8] The owner named it after Sir Walter Scott's novel Waverley.[8]
Upon opening, the station was located near the current day Springvale Road.[9] In 1964, the station moved to its current site.[9][10] The former station building was relocated to Epping, which became the terminus of the Epping line in November of that year.[11]
On 16 August 1995, Glen Waverley was upgraded to a premium station.[12]
In 2012, construction of the "Ikon" apartment complex began on the station site, as part of VicTrack's station precinct enhancement program.[13] The $70 million development was completed in 2013, with the proceeds being used to fund a $1.8 million upgrade to the station forecourt. Works were completed in mid-2014. The upgrade included a brand new station entrance, accessibility improvements and a new kiosk.[14]
In 2018, the station was chosen to be one of the stops on the under-construction Suburban Rail Loop East. Early works on the project have already commenced in the suburb, with the line expect to open between Southland and Box Hill by 2035.[15][16]

The station is currently served by citybound services on the Glen Waverley line, which is operated by Metro Trains Melbourne.
