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.

Contents

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.
