Location

Glen Huntly station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Frankston line, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Glen Huntly in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The station had various forms of the name Glen Huntly, which it initially opened as "Glen Huntly Road" upon its opening in 1881. It was renamed to Glen Huntly a year later on 1 September 1882, it was then renamed to "Glenhuntly" on 20 April 1937. It was given its current name to "Glen Huntly" on 13 April 2023 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. Glen Huntly is a below ground host station, consisting of three platforms, a single island platform with two faces and a single side platform, connected by staircases, lifts and a ground level concourse on Glen Huntly Road. The station was previously at ground level upon its opening on 19 December 1881 until 31 March 2023; however, in July 2023, a new below ground station was provided and rebuilt as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project.

The station is served by one tram route, operated by Yarra Trams, it includes the route 67 tram. The station is approximately 11 km (6.8 mi) or around 25 minute train ride to Flinders Street.

Prior to grade separation, the station was located next to a tram square, one of only three remaining level crossings in Melbourne at which tram and train tracks intersect at the time of closure. A small signal box is located at the Flinders Street end of the tram square, which historically controlled the tramway crossing.
