Hawkstowe railway station is a station on the Mernda line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of South Morang having opened 26 August 2018.[1][2]

History

The station was not originally planned in the Mernda Rail project; however, as a result of pressure from the community, the station was included in the plan for the extension. It is elevated, providing views of the surrounding area, including the adjacent Plenty Gorge Park.

V-Line Coaches to Mansfield and Mt Buller via Yea have been proposed to stop next to Hawkstowe Station on Plenty Road.

From 26 August 2018, Comeng and X-Trapolis 100 trains began to operate on the Mernda line beyond South Morang.
