Nunawading railway station

Nunawading station opened almost six years after the railway line from Camberwell was extended to Lilydale. The settlement immediately adjacent to the station was originally named after Tunstall, England, famous for its potteries. In 1979, the station was one of three used as trial sites for new bike lockers under the Melbourne Bicycle Strategy, available either for occasional, monthly, or quarterly hire. On 18 December 2009, the original ground-level station closed as part of a grade separation project to replace the Springvale Road level crossing. A new station, in a cutting west of Springvale Road, opened on 11 January 2010. == Platforms and services ==

Nunawading is served by Lilydale and Belgrave line trains and consists of an island platform with two faces located on the western side of Springvale Road, with concourses on both sides of the road. The main concourse, on the western side, comprises a customer service counter, an enclosed waiting room, toilets and a café. The concourse on the eastern side is linked to the platforms via an underpass beneath Springvale Road. Both concourses have stairs and lifts that provide access to the platforms. Both concourses of the station have access to the Ringwood – Box Hill bike path. On the platforms, there are metal benches, vending machines, and passenger information displays. The station car park is on the corner of Laughlin Avenue and Springvale Road. ==Transport links==
