Nunawading railway station is located on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Nunawading, and it opened on 4 June 1888 as Tunstall. It was renamed Nunawading on 1 November 1945.[4]

In 1979, the station was one of three used as trial sites for new bike lockers under the Melbourne Bicycle Strategy, either for occasional, monthly or quarterly hire.[5]

As part of a grade separation project to replace the Springvale Road level crossing, the original ground-level station closed on 18 December 2009, and was replaced by a new station in a cutting west of Springvale Road, which opened on 11 January 2010.[6][7][8][9]

Platforms and services[]

The station consists of an island platform with two faces, on the western side of Springvale Road, with concourses on both sides of the road. The main concourse, on the western side, comprises a customer service counter, an enclosed waiting room, toilets and a café. The concourse on the eastern side is linked to the platforms via an underpass beneath Springvale Road. Both concourses have stairs and lifts that provide access to the platforms. On both concourses of the station there is access to the Ringwood – Box Hill bike path. On the platforms there are metal benches, vending machines and passenger information displays. Long term customer parking is available along the corner of Laughlin Avenue and Springvale Road, on the west side of Springvale Road, as well as Station Street, on the east side of Springvale Road.

The station is serviced by Metro Trains' Lilydale and Belgrave line services.[10][11]
