Heyington is a railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in the suburb of Toorak, on the Glen Waverley railway line. It is in Metcard Zone 1.

Heyington station is unmanned.

[edit] Location

The station is located in a cutting, between Heyington Place and St. Kevins College.

[edit] Facilities

The station consists of two side platforms. Platform 1 contains a large weatherboard building while platform 2 contains a small shelter. Access to the station's platforms is via steep steps and a footbridge at the UP end of the station, and because of this, it's the only station on the network not accessible for wheelchair users (except for a dedicated school entrance for students on the DOWN platform). A large Metcard machine is located at the entrance to platform 1, which is able to dispense most ticketing options available and also accept notes and coins. A small Metcard machine is located at the entrance to platform 2.

Both platforms can be accessed via Heyington Place and the St. Kevins College.

[edit] History

Heyington station originally opened on 24 March 1890.
