Glenferrie railway station is a commuter railway station on the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale lines, which are all part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the eastern suburb of Hawthorn, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Glenferrie station is an elevated structure premium station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened in 3 April 1882, with the current station provided in 1963. The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[4][5]
Initially opened as Glenferrie Road, the station was given its current name of Glenferrie on 1 September 1882, seven months after services began. Much of the station's current traffic serves the nearby Hawthorn campus of the Swinburne University of Technology.[6]
History
Glenferrie station opened on 3 April 1882, when the railway line from Hawthorn was extended to Camberwell.[5] The station is named after nearby Glenferrie Road, itself named after a property which was purchased by solicitor Peter Ferrie in 1840, who later named the property Glen Ferrie.[7][8]
In 1963, a third line was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell.[5] These works included a new up platform (Platform 1), with Platform 2 becoming a bi-directional platform.[5]
On 26 February 1996, Glenferrie was upgraded to a premium station.[9]
