[edit] Station overview
[edit] Facilities
Heyington is located in a cutting, between Heyington Place and St Kevin's College, with station access from both via steep steps and a footbridge at the Flinders Street end of the station, and because of this, it is the only operational station on the network not accessible for wheelchair users (except for a dedicated school entrance for students on platform 2). It is also the only operational station in Melbourne isolated from a public road (the other for both cases being the now closed General Motors Station).
The station consists of two side platforms; Platform 1 has a large weatherboard building, while platform 2 has a small steel shelter. A large Metcard ticket vending machine is located at the entrance to platform 1, which is able to dispense most ticketing options available and also accept notes and coins. A coin-only Metcard ticket vending machine is located at the entrance to platform 2. Myki ticket vending machines are located at the entrances to platform 1 and platform 2.
[edit] History
Heyington station opened on 24 March 1890. Electrified services reached the station in 1922.[1]
