Wattle Glen railway station
Wattleglen railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Wattle Glen, and opened on 25 June 1912 as Balee. It was renamed Wattleglen on 14 August 1922. In 2011/12, it was the least used station on Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 55,000 passenger movements.
Although the railway station signage and the operator's public timetables have, and continue to give the name of the station as two words, sources, such as VicNames, and the operator's internal working time tables, give the official spelling of the station as Wattleglen. It is unclear why the suburb was made two words, after the Post Office was renamed from Diamond Creek Upper on 1 November 1922, and after the station was renamed two and a half months earlier.
The former station building was destroyed by fire in 1979.Platforms & services
