Train stabling facilities are located at the eastern (Down) end of the station, adjacent to the Glen Waverley line, while an additional, rarely-used siding is located at the western (Up) end.

In August 1943, as part of the Ashworth Improvement Plan, a flyover was constructed east of the station, to allow Glen Waverley line trains to cross over the Hawthorn-bound line.[2]

The Madden Grove level crossing, located nearby in the Down direction on the Glen Waverley line, was provided in 1963, replacing an earlier level crossing.[1] In 1966, the signal box was rebuilt, the Burnley Street level crossing was grade-separated and the line towards Richmond expanded to quadruple track. The third track to Hawthorn was commissioned in 1972.[3] The stabling facilities were provided in 1997, as part of the closure and replacement of Jolimont Yard.[4]

Burnley was upgraded to a Premium Station on 19 December 2008.[1] On 30 November 2017, the signal box was abolished, with control transferred to Metrol.[5]


Facilities, platforms and services


Burnley has two island platforms. The southern island platform (Platforms 1 & 2) includes a large building, which includes a customer service window, an enclosed waiting room, and toilets. On weekdays, the majority of services to Lilydale and Belgrave don't stop at Burnley as these run express to other stations. Most services from Burnley usually only run as far as Blackburn or Ringwood.

It is serviced by Metro Trains' Lilydale, Belgrave, Alamein and Glen Waverley line services.[6][7][8][9]
