Mount Waverley railway station is a commuter railway station in the suburb of Mount Waverley in the south east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and is part of the Glen Waverley line on Melbourne's suburban rail network.^[4] The station opened in 1930, as a part of the extension from Eastmalvern to Glen Waverley.^[5] The station consists of two side platforms which are connected to each other via adjacent roads and a pedestrian subway.^[4] Additionally, the station is served by bus routes 623 and 733.^[6]^[7] The station is approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) or around a 30-minute train ride away from Flinders Street.^[8]

Description

[edit]

Mount Waverley station is located in the suburb of Mount Waverley. On the north side of the station is Millers Crescent and Hamilton Place is to the south. The station is owned by VicTrack, a state government agency, and is operated by Metro Trains Melbourne.^[9]

The length of both platforms is approximately 160 metres (520 ft), long enough for a Metro Trains 7-car HCMT.^{[citation needed]} Both platforms have a single station building, with the building on Platform 1 serving as a waiting room and ticket office.^[9]

The main car park at the station is located on Alexander Street, just south-west 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.^[10]^[11]

History

[edit]

Mount Waverley station opened on 5 May 1930, when the railway line was extended from Eastmalven to Glen Waverley.^[5] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Sir Walter Scott's novel Waverley. The suburb was given the name "Mount Waverley" in 1905 to distinguish it from the neighbouring suburb of Glen Waverley.^[12]^[13]

In the late 1950s, a second platform was built at the station as part of the duplication works on the Glen Waverley line.^[12] In 1972, an emergency crossover was abolished.^[14]

In 1975, the current station buildings were provided.^[15]

On 18 January 1995, Mount Waverley was the first station on the metropolitan railway system to be upgraded to a premium station.^[16]

Platforms and services

[edit]

The station is currently served by the Glen Waverley line, which is operated by Metro Trains Melbourne. Services to Glen Waverley travel east. Services to the city head to Burnley, joining the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale lines, before heading to Richmond and traveling through the City Loop in a clockwise direction.^[17]

Transport links

[edit]
