Leawarra railway station

Leawarra railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Frankston, and it opened on 30 November 1959 as Rail Motor Stopping Place No. 16. It was renamed Leawarra in 1962.

Langwarrin, a closed station on the Stony Point line, was located between Leawarra and Baxter.

History
Leawarra station opened on 30 November 1959 as Rail Motor Stopping Place No. 16. On 24 April 1961, a 60 ft platform was provided to replace the stopping place. The following year, it was renamed Leawarra.

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service. On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and, on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated.

In 1988, the platform was extended to accommodate a DRC railcar with an MTH carriage. Even then, at 44 m, it was the shortest platform in Victoria with a regular rail passenger service. In 1989, boom barriers were provided at the nearby McMahons Road and Hillcrest Road level crossings, located in the up and down directions of the station respectively.

In 2008, when Sprinter trains were introduced on the Stony Point line, the platform was again extended, and is now 60 m long.
