Tyabb railway station is a commuter railway station on the Stony Point line, part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the town of Tyabb in Victoria, Australia. Tyabb is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 10 September 1889, with the current station provided in 1986. It initially closed on 22 June 1981, then reopened on 27 September 1984.[3]

History

Tyabb station opened on 10 September 1889, when the railway line from Baxter was extended to Hastings.[3] Like the town itself, the station has an Aboriginal name meaning 'waterholes' or 'mudhole'.[4]

Signals were once provided at the station, however they were abolished in 1947.[3]

In 1966, flashing light signals were provided at the Mornington–Tyabb Road level crossing, located nearby in the down direction of the station.[5]

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service.[3] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and,[6] on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated.[3]

Until February 1986, the station consisted of a waiting room, basic toilets and a ticket office.[7][8] 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.[7]

In 2008, boom barriers were provided at the Mornington–Tyabb Road level crossing.[9][10]
