Greensborough railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Greensborough, and opened on 5 June 1902. It was upgraded to a Premium station on 21 June 1996.

Contents

Because of the curvature of the line, northbound (Hurstbridge) bound services head south-east upon departing the station, and, likewise, southbound (Flinders Street) bound services head north-west.

Just past the station, the double track becomes single, for the remainder of the journey to Hurstbridge. A number of peak hour services to and from Flinders Street terminate at Greensborough.

A former goods yard existed at the Up end of the station. The yard was removed during duplication of the line, between Watsonia and Greensborough, in the late 1970s.
