Burnley railway station
Burnley railway station is located on the Lilydale, Belgrave, Alamein and Glen Waverley lines in Victoria, Australia, and serves the inner eastern Melbourne suburb of Burnley. The station opened as Burnley Street on 1 May 1880, and was renamed Burnley on 1 September 1882.
Train stabling facilities are located at the eastern end of the station, adjacent to the Glen Waverley line, while an additional, little-used siding is located at the western end.
In August 1943, as part of the Ashworth Improvement Plan, a flyover was constructed east of the station to allow Glen Waverley line trains to cross over the Hawthorn-bound line.
In 1966, the signal box was rebuilt, the Burnley Street level crossing was grade-separated and the line towards Richmond expanded to quadruple track. The third track to Hawthorn was commissioned in 1972. The stabling facilities were provided in 1997, as part of the closure and replacement of Jolimont Yard.Facilities, platforms & services
