Glenferrie railway station

Glenferrie railway station is a commuter railway station on the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale lines, serving the eastern Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn in Victoria, Australia. Glenferrie is an elevated premium station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, and was opened 3 April 1882.

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 stations current traffic serves the nearby Hawthorn campus of the Swinburne University of Technology.

History
Glenferrie station opened on 3 April 1882, when the railway line from Hawthorn was extended to Camberwell. 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.

In 1963, a third line was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell. These works included a new up platform (Platform 1), with Platform 2 becoming a bi-directional platform.

On 26 February 1996, Glenferrie was upgraded to a premium station.
