Montmorency railway station is a commuter railway station on the Hurstbridge line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the north-eastern suburb of Montmorency, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Montmorency station is a ground level premium station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 5 September 1923, with the current station provided in 2023.[2]
Montmorency station opened twenty-one years after the railway line from Heidelberg was extended to Hurstbridge.[2] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after a local farm, the Montmorency Estate, itself named after the French town Montmorency, Val-d'Oise.[3] [4]
In the lead-up to the 2018 state election, the opposition Liberal Party promised A$300m to duplicate the line between Greensborough and Eltham, and provide Montmorency with a second platform.[5]
On 15 May 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that planning for the duplication of 3 kms of track between Greensborough and Eltham was underway. Final designs of the new station were released on 9 February 2021,[6] with early work of the project commencing in late 2021, with major construction started in 2022.[7] The station was rebuilt approximately west of the current station, and included a new platform.[8] [9] On 30 April 2023, the rebuilt station opened.[1]
Montmorency has two side platforms. It is located between Were Street and Mayona Road, with station access from both. There are sheltered waiting areas on both platforms, two myki top up machines, six myki touch on/off stands and a "pod" for Protective Services Officers.
The station is served by Hurstbridge line trains.[10]
