East Camberwell railway station is a commuter railway station on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, serving the eastern Melbourne suburb of Camberwell in Victoria, Australia.
[5] East Camberwell station opened on 14 May 1900, and was originally the interchange station for the Deepdene Dasher service, which operated north along the Outer Circle line, that had originally opened in 1891.
Between 1915 and 1922, a signal box at the Melbourne (up) end was provided, to control the junction towards Riversdale (on today's Alamein line), as the three tracks through to Camberwell had been reduced to two, to allow the regrading works at Camberwell to proceed.
[9] In 1981, the Edwardian timber station building on Platforms 1 and 2 was replaced with a brick structure, partly due to the perceived fire risk.
In 1990, actor and comedian Barry Humphries described the station as a "scrawled-on urine-reeking wasteland.
