: ''For other uses, see Hartwell (disambiguation) .'' Hartwell railway station (station code: HWL) is on the Alamein Line in Melbourne , Australia . It lies between the Fordham Avenue, Glyndon Road and Kalang Road Intersection and Culliton Road on the Western side of the station in Camberwell . Between the Fordham Avenue, Glyndon Road & Kalang Road intersection and the station is a medium-sized park, stretching the length of the Station, and including children's play equipment. Access to Hartwell Station is through the park or via the Tyrone Street end. It is located 13.3km from Flinders Street Station in the centre of Melbourne and is in Metcard Zone 1 Hartwell station opened on 7 May , 1906 , under the name of "Hartwell Hill". Confusingly, Burwood was named Hartwell at the time. On 1 August , 1909 , Hartwell Hill was renamed Hartwell, and Hartwell was renamed Burwood. Hartwell was originally part of the "Deepdene Dasher" service that connected Ashburton with Deepdene . After the closure of the Deepdene service in 1927 , Hartwell became part of the Ashburton line, which in turn became the Alamein line in 1948 . Hartwell is named after one of the early estates in the area, "Hartwell House", which was the residence of James Irwin. The station has two Platforms arranged in an island configuration (where trains arrive either side of a central shared platform). The station building is historically significant, as it was originally built for the Walhalla Line , but was moved to Hartwell in December 1938 six years before the Walhalla line closed in 1944. This may explain why Hartwell is the only station on the Alamein branch to have an island platform. Hartwell has some limited car parking, but few other facilities. |
