Murrumbeena railway station is a railway station on the Gippsland line in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern suburbs of Carnegie and Murrumbeena, opening on 14 May 1879.[2] The station is served by Pakenham and Cranbourne commuter rail services. The station once had a signal box at the northern end of platform 1, which was removed in 1979 when boom barriers were provided at the Murrumbeena Road level crossing,[3] while two sidings were located at the southern end of platform 2.
In March 2014, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced a grade separation project to replace the Murrumbeena Road level crossing immediately to the west of the station, being done so as part of its elevated railway project. The historic station (protected by a local heritage overlay) and associated footbridge were removed and replaced with a temporary station until the completion of the project.[4] Trains commenced running on the new elevated lines in 2018.
