Hughesdale railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Hughesdale, and opened on 28 February 1925.[1]
The station and suburb were named in honour of James Vincent Hughes, mayor of Oakleigh from 1924 to 1925, who, with the Poath Road Railway Station League, lobbied heavily for a new station for the area. Before the station was built, Hughesdale was the site of the junctions of both the Outer Circle and Rosstown railway lines with the Dandenong/Gippsland line.
The current station building was provided in 1977, after the former station building was destroyed by fire in 1975.[2] The former station building was of a timber construction.[3]
