Bayswater railway station is located on the Belgrave line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Bayswater, opening on 4 December 1889.[1]
The current island platform opened on 19 December 1982, as part of the duplication of the line between Bayswater and Ringwood stations.[2] However, the current station building was provided in 1977.[3] It was once the destination for freight trains conveying cement, with the last train running on 24 June 1987, when the traffic was relocated to Lyndhurst station, near Dandenong.[4] Bayswater was upgraded to a Premium station in 2001.
In 1998, a train maintenance centre and stabling facilities opened, as part of the replacement of Jolimont Yard. The buildings are approximately 2,850 m² in size, and permit bogie repair and replacement, under carriage and overhead work.[5]
Future
In November 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced plans to remove the level crossings on either side of the station, at Mountain Highway and Scoresby Road, via a grade separation.[6]
In conjunction with removing the level crossings, a new Bayswater station will be built below ground.[7]
