Ringwood East station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Lilydale line, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Ringwood East in Victoria, Australia. It was opened on 18 May 1925, and the current station was opened in July 2024 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project.
History In 1975, new ground-level station buildings were provided.
On 30 June 1984, an island platform was opened, as part of the duplication of the line between Ringwood and Croydon. In that same year, boom barriers were provided at the former Dublin Road level crossing, which was located in the up direction from the station.
Under the Level Crossing Removal Project, the Dublin Road level crossing was grade separated, with the railway being lowered into in a cutting under the road, and the construction of a new station. Work began in May 2023. The Dublin Road level crossing and old ground-level Ringwood East station were closed on 24 May 2024, and the new station opened to passengers on 8 July 2024.
