Hawkstowe railway station is a commuter railway station on the Mernda line, serving the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of South Morang in Victoria, Australia. Hawkstowe is an elevated host station, featuring an island platform with two faces. It opened on 10 October 1887 with current station provided in 2018 along with the duplication of track between South Morang and Mernda.[1] [2] [3]
Hawkstowe station opened on 26 August 2018, when the railway line was extended from South Morang to Mernda, as part of the Mernda Rail project.[1] The station was not originally planned as part of the project. However, as a result of pressure from the community, the station was included in the plan for the extension. It is elevated, providing views of the surrounding area, including the adjacent Plenty Gorge Park.
The name of the station comes from a nearby property named Hawkstowe, once owned by J.H. Walker, who was the founder of Walker's Biscuits.[4]
Hawkstowe station has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Mernda line services.[5]
