History[]
The first Burwood station, was opened on 26 September 1855 at a site at ground level on the west side of Burwood Road. The station was moved in 1892 to the current location on the east side of Burwood Road and along Railway Parade in Burwood when the line was quadruplicated.
The line through Burwood was sextuplicated in 1922, and a second subway was constructed at the eastern end of the station. This subway closed after 1985. The remnants of the steps down to this subway from Deane St can still be seen to this day.
In 2009 and 2010, the station underwent a significant refurbishment to address high levels of congestion at times of high patronage. Work included an expanded concourse with extra ticket barriers, new toilets and lifts to the platforms. The upgrade was completed in mid 2010.
