Syndal station gets its name from a nearby property owned by Sir Redmond Barry, a major figure in the development of the area. In 1958, the line was duplicated between Mount Waverley and Syndal, and in 1964, the current island platform was provided, when the line was duplicated between Syndal and Glen Waverley. The station was the site of a train collision involving a Hitachi and Comeng train  sets on 20 November 1989. The incident occurred after the 7.49am train from Glen Waverley ran past a red signal, and collided with the 7.46am train from Glen Waverley, at a speed of roughly 40 km/h. The 7.46am was stationary at Syndal due to a problem with the doors closing when the collision happened. 75 people were injured in the collision. The lead carriage of the 7.49am train, Hitachi 90M, was later scrapped due to the collision. In 2015, the station was upgraded to include an additional 250 car parking spaces, with a new multi-deck car park , improved lighting, the installation of CCTV cameras, as well as enhanced pedestrian access.
