History

Tyabb station opened on 10 September 1889, when the railway line from Baxter was extended to Hastings. [3] Like the town itself, the station has an Aboriginal name meaning 'waterholes' or 'mudhole'. [4]

Signals were once provided at the station, however they were abolished in 1947. [3]

In 1966, flashing light signals were provided at the Mornington–Tyabb Road level crossing, located nearby in the down direction of the station. [5]

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service. [3] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and, [6] on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated. [3]

Until February 1986, the station consisted of a waiting room, basic toilets and a ticket office. [7] [8] As part of a government rationalisation of public transport, these facilities were no longer deemed necessary, and the buildings were demolished and replaced with the current shelters. [7]

In 2008, boom barriers were provided at the Mornington–Tyabb Road level crossing. [9] [10]
