Initially opened as Balcombe Road, the station was renamed two times. It was renamed to Balcombe on 1 September 1882, then was given its current name of Mentone on 7 January 1884.
It is classed as a premium station, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.




History


Mentone station opened on 1 September 1882, when the railway line from Caulfield was extended to Mordialloc. Like the suburb itself, the station is named after the French Riviera resort Menton.
Until the 1940s, a former siding at the station existed, operating across Station Street to a timber yard.
In 1959, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Balcombe Road level crossing, which was located at the up end of the station.
In 1981, the goods yard was closed to traffic. In late 1984/early 1985, a number of sidings and a headshunt at the station were abolished. Also occurring in 1985, the signal box and interlocking were abolished.
In December 2007, Mentone was upgraded to a Premium Station.
On 20 March 2020, the station was closed from 20:15 to allow for works to remove the three level crossings at Balcombe, Charman and Park Roads, and to build a new Mentone station. On 20 July of that year, the rebuilt station opened. The former heritage station buildings were retained as part of the project.
