Glenferrie railway station is located on the Lilydale, Belgrave and Alamein lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn, and it opened on 3 April 1882 as Glenferrie Road. It was renamed Glenferrie on 1 September of that year.[4]
The station serves the nearby Hawthorn campus of Swinburne University of Technology,[5] and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[6]
History
Glenferrie station opened on 3 April 1882, when the railway line from Hawthorn was extended to Camberwell.[4] 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.[4] These works included a new up platform (Platform 1), with Platform 2 becoming a bi-directional platform.[4]
On 26 February 1996, Glenferrie was upgraded to a premium station.[9]
