Heyington railway station, Melbourne
Heyington is a railway station (station code: HEY) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is located on the Glen Waverley line, at Heyington Place and Gawith Court in the suburb of Toorak. It is 5.8 km from Flinders Street Station, the center of the city's suburban railway network, and in Metcard ticketing Zone 1.
Heyington is an unstaffed station, with only limited facilities. Despite most stations in Melbourne having access ramps fitted, it is the only station on the Melbourne suburban network to not be accessible to wheelchairs, due to its design in which access to both platforms is provided by walking down an array of steps, with no alternative access method provided. (Although passengers from the adjacent St. Kevins College can access platform 2 without using the steps, via a direct entrance from the school).
