Bayswater railway station is a commuter railway station on the Belgrave line, serving the eastern Melbourne suburb of Bayswater in Victoria, Australia. Bayswater is a below ground premium station, featuring an island platform with two faces. It opened on 4 December 1889, with the current station provided in 2016. [4]
Bayswater station opened on 4 December 1889, when the railway line from Ringwood was extended to Upper Ferntree Gully. [4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Bayswater House, a large property owned by bookmaker and publisher James John Miller. [5] The property itself was named after Miller's birthplace in London. [5] During construction, the station was known as Macaulay, which was the name of a nearby post office. [4] [5]
In 1957, duplication of the line between Bayswater and Lower Fern Tree Gully occurred. [4]
In 1970, boom barriers were provided at the former Mountain Highway level crossing, which was located in the up direction of the station. [6] In 1977, the former ground-level station building was provided. [4] [7]
On 19 December 1982, the former ground-level island platform was provided, as part of the duplication of the line between Bayswater and Ringwood. [8] In that year, boom barriers were provided at the nearby Scoresby Road level crossing, in the down direction from the station. [4]
Bayswater was once the destination for freight services conveying cement, with the last train operating on 24 June 1987, after which the traffic was relocated to Lyndhurst, near Dandenong. [9]
In April 1998, a train maintenance centre and stabling facilities opened adjacent to the station, as part of the replacement of the Jolimont Yard. [10] The buildings are approximately 2,850 m2 in size, and permit bogie repair and replacement, and under-carriage and overhead work. [11] In that year, a signal panel at the station was abolished and moved to Ringwood. [10] In 2001, Bayswater was upgraded to a premium station.
In November 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced plans to remove the level crossings on either side of the station, at Mountain Highway and Scoresby Road. [12] In conjunction with the grade separation, a new station was built below ground level. [13] Between October and December 2016, the level crossings were removed. On 15 October of that year, the ground-level station closed, after which it was demolished to allow the new station to be built. On 12 December of that year, the new station opened to passengers.
Bayswater has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Belgrave line trains. [14]
