Tyabb railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Tyabb, and it opened on 10 September 1889.[1]
Tyabb station opened on 10 September 1889, when the railway line from Baxter was extended to Hastings.[1] Like the town itself, the station has an Aboriginal name meaning 'waterholes' or 'mudhole'.[2]
Signals were once provided at the station, however they were abolished in 1947.[1]
In 1966, flashing light signals were provided at the Mornington–Tyabb Road level crossing, located nearby in the down direction of the station.[3]
On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and,[4] on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated.[1]
Until February 1986, the station consisted of a waiting room, basic toilets and a ticket office.[5] [6] As part of a government rationalisation of public transport, these facilities were no longer deemed necessary, and the buildings were demolished and replaced with the current shelters.[5]
In 2008, boom barriers were provided at the Mornington–Tyabb Road level crossing.[7] [8]
Tyabb has one platform. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Stony Point line services.[9]
