Springvale railway station
Springvale railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Springvale, and it opened on 1 September 1880 as Spring Vale. It was renamed Springvale on 29 February 1972. Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Springvale Road level crossing, which was located at the Up end of the station, in 1964. In 1975, the signal box was provided with a new relay interlocking system. Also in that year, a crossover was abolished at the Up end of the station, with a new crossover  provided at the Down end. In 1976, the goods platform was abolished. It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 7 June 1996. The remnant of a former branch line, which went to Spring Vale Cemetery station, was located at the Down end of the station. It was provided with overhead wiring in 1922. The majority of the line was dismantled in 1952, with the remaining portion of the line becoming a siding. In October 2002, it was booked out of use, and the associated points, signals, crossover, and overhead wiring were removed in August 2008. On 30 January 2012 , the signal box was abolished, with control transferred to the Dandenong signal box.

As part of this project, a new station was constructed below street level, which opened on 22 April 2014. Facilities, platforms and services.
