Keon Park is a railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is located on the Epping railway line in the suburb of Thomastown.

[edit] History

The station opened in 1929 and was initially named Keonpark. In 1972 it was renamed Keon Park. The part of Reservoir east of the railway line and south of Keon Parade is sometimes known as Keon Park, and many of the shops in Johnston Street (which runs parallel to the railway line) include Keon Park in their names.

[edit] Facilities

The station is unmanned with limited facilities approximately 40 minutes north of Melbourne by train. This station is the end of the continuous, double track that runs from the city as only a single track leads north towards Thomastown. The island platform runs approximately north/south parallel to High Street with a single entrance at the south end on Keon Parade. Platform 1 (the west side) is exclusively for Epping bound trains while Platform 2 (the east side) is exclusively for city bound trains.

The 560 bus service from Broadmeadows to Greensborough stops on the north side of Keon Parade a short distance to the east of the station, just beyond the car park. There is a stop for the return service from Greensborough to Broadmeadows almost directly opposite near the corner of Johnston St.

The 555 bus service from Northland to Epping Plaza runs north along high street and south west along Hughes Parade.

The Epping Nightrider bus travels along High St and stops at the 555 bus stops near Keon Park station following the last train on Friday night/Saturday morning and Saturday night/Sunday morning.
