Gardenvale station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Sandringham line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Brighton, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Gardenvale station is an elevated unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 10 December 1906.[1]
The station has two side platforms, and is located in an unusual elevated position, located between the Nepean Highway and Martin Street, with access to the station from both.
History
Gardenvale station opened on 10 December 1906, with the whole cost of providing the station met by local residents of the district.[2] The origins of the name of the station, and the suburb itself, are uncertain, although it may have been inspired by nearby market gardens throughout the undulating countryside.[3][4]
In 1928, the rail bridge over Martin Street, which restored a link between both sections of the street, was constructed, with most of the cost being met by the Brighton and Caulfield councils, and local businesses.[2]
In 1972, the current girder bridge over the Nepean Highway was provided.[5][6] During the widening of the Nepean Highway in the late 1970s and early 1980s, as the previous rail embankment was removed, the former trestle bridge crossing Elster Creek was uncovered.[7]
There is a large weatherboard building on Platform 1, with a smaller weatherboard building on Platform 2. On 7 December 2009, the building on Platform 1 was severely damaged by fire, which investigators described as suspicious.[8] In January 2011, restoration of the building began,[9] with reconstruction work being completed by the middle of that year.
