Ringwood East railway station is a commuter railway station on the Lilydale line, serving the eastern Melbourne suburb of Ringwood East in Victoria, Australia. Ringwood East is a below ground unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms, connected by a ground level concourse. It opened on 18 May 1925, with the current station provided in 2024.[4]
History
In 1975, the former ground-level station building were provided.[5][6]
On 30 June 1984, an island platform was provided, as part of the duplication of the line between Ringwood and Croydon.[7][4] In that same year, boom barriers were provided at the former Dublin Road level crossing, which was located nearby in the up direction of the station.[7][8]
On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the level crossing will be grade separated by 2025, with a rail trench to be built underneath the road.[9][10][11] The level crossing removal will also involve the construction of a new station.[9][10] In May 2023, construction on the project began.[12]
On 24 May 2024, Dublin Road level crossing and equipment was eliminated. At the same night, the old ground-level Ringwood East station was closed and demolished. Initially, Ringwood East station was originally scheduled to open to passengers on 5 July 2024.[13][14][15][16] However, the opening was delayed and postponed to 8 July.[17][18]
