Nunawading station opened almost six years after the railway line from [[Camberwell railway station, Melbourne|Camberwell]] was extended to [[Lilydale railway station|Lilydale]].<ref name=vicsignunawading/> Like the suburb itself, the name of the station is from an [[Indigenous Australians|Indigenous]] [[Australian Aboriginal languages|word]], ''numphawading'', meaning ceremonial ground or battlefield.<ref name="vpnunawading">{{cite web |url=https://www.victorianplaces.com.au/nunawading |title=Nunawading |publisher=Victorian Places |accessdate=5 January 2023 |archive-date=2 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221202041000/https://www.victorianplaces.com.au/nunawading |url-status=live}}</ref> The settlement immediately adjacent to the station was originally named after [[Tunstall, Staffordshire|Tunstall]], [[England]], famous for its potteries.<ref name=vpnunawading/> |

In 1956, [[boom barrier]]s replaced hand gates at the former [[Metropolitan Route 40, Melbourne|Springvale Road]] [[level crossing]], which was located at the [[Rail directions#Up and down|up]] end of the station.<ref name="somersaultjan90">{{cite magazine |date=January 1990 |title=Level Crossing Protection |first=John |last=Sinnatt |magazine=Somersault |publisher=Signalling Record Society Victoria |pages=9–17}}</ref> |
|||
Opened in [[1886]], it was originally named Tunstall station, and was later renamed when the area known as Tunstall was renamed [[Nunawading, Victoria|Nunawading]]. It initially served the clay and brick producers in the area. Bus services used to operate between the station and the former VFL Park but have ceased to the grounds closure. |
|||
In 1979, the station was one of three used as trial sites for new [[Bicycle locker|bike locker]]s under the Melbourne Bicycle Strategy, available either for occasional, monthly, or quarterly hire.<ref>Network, Railways of Australia, September 1979, Vol.16 No.7 p.28</ref> |

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 [[Cut (earthworks)|cutting]] west of Springvale Road, opened on 11 January 2010.<ref>[http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/news/service-alterations/metropolitan-trains/closure-of-nunawading-station-from-8pm-on-friday-18-december Metlink: Closure of Nunawading Station from 8pm on Friday 18 December]</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.theage.com.au/national/notorious-crossing-to-be-removed-20080915-4h3o.html |title=Notorious crossing to be removed |date=16 September 2008 |last=Lucas |first=Clay |work=The Age |accessdate=16 September 2008 |archive-date=18 September 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080918011443/http://www.theage.com.au/national/notorious-crossing-to-be-removed-20080915-4h3o.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="project">{{cite web |url=https://vicsig.net/infrastructure/projects/srra |title=Springvale Road Rail Project |website=vicsig.net |access-date=23 April 2023 |archive-date=1 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230501044302/https://vicsig.net/infrastructure/projects/srra |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Springvale road and rail grade separation |url=http://www.arup.com/Home/Projects/Springvale_Road_Rail_Grade_Separation.aspx |publisher=Arup |accessdate=22 July 2013 |archive-date=11 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130311163820/http://www.arup.com/Home/Projects/Springvale_Road_Rail_Grade_Separation.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref> |
|||
Despite being located next to a bus interchange, the station is unstaffed except on weekday mornings. |
|||
Platform 1 (to city) has a [[fibro]] station building resting on [[brick]] foundations, and platform 2 (from city) has a wooden building. A [[Telstra]] [[payphone]] is located on platform 2. There are three ticket machines at the station, with two on the citybound side and one [[coin]]-only machine on the outbound platform. On the citybound side there is also a [[newspaper]] dispenser and a pair of [[vending machine]]s. |
|||
== Platforms and services == |
|||
Semi-enclosed waiting facilities are provided on either platform. Nunawading is one of few [[Host Station|host stations]] that has an attended booking office in the morning peak. It has a shopping strip located adjacent to the citybound side, and is surrounded by [[factory outlet]]s, [[hardware]] stores and the like along the [[Maroondah Highway]]. |
|||
Nunawading is served by [[Lilydale line|Lilydale]] and [[Belgrave line|Belgrave]] line trains<ref>{{cite PTV route|Lilydale|mode=train}}</ref><ref>{{cite PTV route|Belgrave|mode=train}}</ref> and consists of an [[island platform]] with two faces located on the western side of Springvale Road, with [[concourse]]s 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 [[subway (underpass)|underpass]] beneath Springvale Road. Both concourses have stairs and [[Elevator|lift]]s that provide access to the platforms. Both concourses of the station have access to the [[Ringwood, Victoria|Ringwood]] – [[Box Hill, Victoria|Box Hill]] [[bike path]]. On the platforms, there are metal benches, [[vending machine]]s, and [[passenger information system|passenger information display]]s. The station car park is on the corner of Laughlin Avenue and Springvale Road. |

==Redevelopment proposal== |

'''Platform 1:''' |

It has been proposed lowering the railway and the station into a concrete cutting (similar to [[Boronia railway station, Melbourne|Boronia]]) in order to solve traffic congestion problems at the adjacent level crossing. |

It serves the eastern suburb of Nunawading, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Nunawading station is a ground level premium station, featuring an island platform with two faces, connected by two concourses. It opened on 4 June 1888, with the current station provided in 2010.[5]
Initially opened as Tunstall, the station was given its current name of Nunawading on 1 November 1945.
History
[edit]Nunawading station opened almost six years after the railway line from Camberwell was extended to Lilydale.[5] Like the suburb itself, the name of the station is from an Indigenous word, numphawading, meaning ceremonial ground or battlefield.[6] The settlement immediately adjacent to the station was originally named after Tunstall, England, famous for its potteries.[6]
In 1956, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the former Springvale Road level crossing, which was located at the up end of the station.[7]
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.[8]
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.[9][10][11][12]
