Burnley railway station is a commuter railway station and the junction point for the Lilydale, Belgrave, Alamein and Glen Waverley lines, part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the inner-eastern Melbourne suburb of Burnley in Victoria, Australia. Burnley is a ground level premium station, featuring four platforms, two island platforms with two faces connected by an accessible underground concourse. It opened on 1 May 1880.
Initially opened as Burnley Street, the station was given its current name of Burnley on 1 September 1882. Train stabling facilities are located at the eastern (down) end of the station, adjacent to the Glen Waverley line, while an additional, rarely-used siding is located at the western (Up) end.




History


Burnley station opened on 1 May 1880, like the suburb itself, was named after William Burnley, a local land purchaser and, between 1853–1856, was a member of the Victorian Legislative Council for the district of North Bourke.
In August 1943, as part of the Ashworth Improvement Plan, a flyover was constructed to the east of the station, to allow Glen Waverley line services to cross over the Hawthorn-bound line.
In 1963, the Madden Grove level crossing, located nearby in the down direction on the Glen Waverley line, was provided, replacing an earlier level crossing. In 1966, the signal box was rebuilt, the Burnley Street level crossing was grade-separated and the line towards Richmond expanded to quadruple track. In 1972, the third track to Hawthorn was commissioned. On 24 October 1997, the stabling facility was provided, as part of the closure and replacement of Jolimont Yard. As part of this facility, a crossover was provided at the up end of the level crossing.
On 19 December 2008, Burnley was upgraded to a premium station. On 30 November 2017, the signal box was abolished, with control transferred to Metrol.
