Noble Park railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Noble Park opening on 3 February 1913.[2]
The original station was replaced by one opened in the late 1960s after the original buildings were destroyed by an arsonist. A row of shops now occupies the site of the first station, of which no trace remains today. As part of the EastLink project, minor upgrade works were carried out, including improved shelter, carpark upgrades, and a security upgrade including brighter lighting and better CCTV coverage.
In 2015 the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced the Grade separation of nearby Heatherton Road with construction scheduled to start in 2016.[3] The final scheme involved rebuilding the railway line as an elevated line crossing Corrigan, Heatherton and Chandler roads with a new high level station being built. The new station opened on 15 February 2018.[4] [5]
