Murrumbeena railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Murrumbeena opening on 14 May 1879.[1] 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,[2] while two sidings were located at the southern end of Platform 2.
The Level Crossing Removal Authority announced a grade separation project to replace the Murrumbeena Road level crossing immediately to the west of the station. This will include rebuilding the station.[3]
