Glen Waverley is the terminus of the Glen Waverley line, which is part of the Melbourne Railway Network.[6] Additionally, the station is served by ten bus routes including SmartBus route 902.[7] The station is approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) or around a 35-minute train ride away from Flinders Street.[8]

Description Edit

Glen Waverley railway station 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.[9] The station is approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) or around a 35-minute train ride away from Flinders Street.[8]

Glen Waverley consists of a single island platform connected to Kingsway via a ramp on the eastern end of the platform. The length of the platform is approximately 160 metres (520 ft), 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.[9]

The main car park at the station is located on Railway Parade just north of the station.[9] 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.[9][10]

History Edit

Glen Waverley station opened on 5 May 1930, when the railway line was extended from East Malvern.[5] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after a township which was privately surveyed in 1853.[11] The owner named it after Sir Walter Scott's novel Waverley.[11]

The old station building was relocated to Epping, which became the terminus of the Epping line in November of that year.[12]

On 16 August 1995, Glen Waverley was upgraded to a premium station.[13]

In 2012, construction of the "Ikon" apartment complex began on the station site as part of VicTrack's station precinct enhancement program.[14] 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, accesibility improvements and a new kiosk.[15]

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.[16][17]

Platforms and services Edit

The station is currently served by citybound services on the Glen Waverley line which is operated by Metro Trains Melbourne. Services to the city head to Burnley, joining the Belgrave, Lilydale, and Alamein lines before heading to Richmond and traveling through the City Loop in a clockwise direction.[6]

Future services:
From 2035 onwards, Glen Waverley will be connected to the Suburban Rail Loop, which will operate from Southland to Box Hill.[18]

Transport links Edit

Glen Waverley is served by 10 bus routes all departing from the bus interchange just north of the station on Railway Parade. These routes are 623, 736, 737, 742, 753, 754, 850, 885, SmartBus route 902 and Nightbus route 967.[7]
