Glenbervie railway station is a commuter railway station on the Craigieburn line, part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the northern suburb of Essendon in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Glenbervie station is a ground-level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 11 September 1922, with the current station provided in 1976.[4]

History

The railway line past the site of Glenbervie station originally opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to School House Lane. The station itself opened on 11 September 1922, a year after the line was electrified.[4] It was named in honour of local settler Thomas Napier, who was originally from Scotland.[5][6] Glenbervie, in Aberdeenshire, was the ancestral birthplace of Napier's father, grandfather, and great grandfather.[5][6]

The station was initially provided with small timber station buildings. In 1976, they were replaced by the current buildings.[7][8] A timber footbridge originally linked the two platforms.
