Syndal railway station is located on the Glen Waverley line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley, opening on 5 May 1930.
In 2015, the station was upgraded to include an additional 250 parking spots, with a new multi-deck car park, improved lighting, the installation of CCTV cameras, as well as enhanced pedestrian access. The multi-deck car park officially opened on 26 October 2015.
The station was the site of a train collision on 20 November 1989. The incident occurred after the 7.49am train from Glen Waverley ran past a red signal, and collided with the 7.46am train from Glen Waverley, at a speed of roughly 40km/h. The 7.46am was stationary at Syndal due to a problem with the doors closing when the collision happened. 75 people were injured in the collision.
Syndal has one island platform with two sides. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Glen Waverley line services.
