Burwood railway station is located on the Alamein line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Glen Iris, and it opened on 30 May 1890 as Hartwell. It was renamed Burwood on 1 August 1909.Burwood was part of the first section of the Outer Circle line. It was closed for a brief stint from May 1897 until July 1898, after the closure of the Outer Circle line. However, after a public outcry, it soon reopened, first as part of the Deepdene Dasher steam service. In 1927, Burwood became part of the Ashburton line, which was then extended to Alamein on 28 June 1948, becoming the present day Alamein line. The station is named after Burwood House, which was built by Sir James Frederick Palmer in 1852.
