Yarraman railway station

Yarraman railway station is a commuter railway station located in the suburb of Noble Park in metropolitan Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, about Template:Cvt from the Melbourne CBD. Opened on 21 December 1976, the station is named after the nearby Yarraman Creek, a first-order tributary of the lower Dandenong Creek/Patterson River system that serves as Noble Park's eastern boundary with the neighboring suburb of Dandenong.<ref name="vicsigyarraman">Template:Cite web</ref>

The EastLink toll road is located just Template:Cvt east of the station platform, crossing the line via an overpass. The EastLink Trail, which follows the tollway, uses the entrance footbridge of the station to traverse the railway.

History

To allow for the construction of the station, the existing up double track was slewed in 1974.<ref name="newsrailmay74">Template:Cite magazine</ref> At the time, "Fotheringham", was suggested by locals as a name for the station, to recognise a notable family in the area.<ref name=newsrailmay74/>

In 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced the grade separation of the nearby Chandler Road level crossing. Construction began in 2016,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> with the level crossing removed and a railway overpass built over the road by 2018.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Unlike many stations between Noble Park and Caulfield that were elevated on viaducts as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project, the tracks between Dandenong and Noble Park remained largely at ground level. Yarraman station was not rebuilt because it is over 500 metres away from the Chandler Road viaduct.

Platforms and services

Yarraman station has one island platform with two faces, and is accessible only via a ramped elevated footbridge at its down (south-eastern) end. It is served by Cranbourne and Pakenham line trains.<ref>Template:Cite PTV route</ref><ref>Template:Cite PTV route</ref>

During peak hours, limited express services towards Flinders Street, Cranbourne and Pakenham often skip the station. V/Line services on the Traralgon and Bairnsdale line do not stop there.
