Springvale railway station is located on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Springvale, opening on 1 September 1880 as Spring Vale, and was renamed Springvale in February 1972.
In 1975, the signal box was provided with a new relay interlocking system, and in 1976, the goods platform was abolished. It was upgraded to a Premium station on 7 June 1996.
The remnant of a former branch line, which went to Spring Vale Cemetery station, was located at the northern end of the station. In October 2002, it was booked out of use, and the associated points, signals, crossover, and overhead wiring were removed in August 2008.
In mid-2013, construction commenced on a grade separation project to eliminate the Springvale Road level crossing immediately north of the station. As part of this project, a new station was constructed below street level, which opened on 22 April 2014.
Springvale has two side platforms, with a concourse above on ground level. The concourse features a customer service window, an enclosed waiting room and toilets. Access to the platforms is provided by stairs and ramps. Springvale is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham and Cranbourne line services.
