Gardiner railway station is located on the Glen Waverley line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Glen Iris opening on 24 March 1890.[1]
A signal box is situated on Platform 2 at the eastern end of the station, to control the Burke Road tramway crossing.
The station buildings were reconstructed in 1975.[2] The station is among sixteen others that are the site of eleven storey high communication towers aimed to improve identification of trains around the network and emergency management.[3]
In May 2014, the State Government announced a grade separation project to replace the Burke Road level crossing with a completion date of 2017. This will involve the station being rebuilt.[4]
