Nunawading Railway Station
Nunawading is a railway station on the Lilydale and Belgrave railway lines, in the suburb of Nunawading in Melbourne, Australia. It is located in Public Transport Victoria ticketing Zone 2, and has two platforms. Nunawading railway station has been upgraded to a Premium Station in 2010 along with the grade separation of Springvale Road, as outlined in the Victorian Transport Plan in December 2008.
The original station was closed on 18 December 2009 and was demolished, with a replacement station being built on the west side of Springvale Road.
Space was provided in the replacement station, for a third track and platform which may be added in the future to run more services.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
