-
Annotation. Melbourne's suburban railway to Glen Waverley was built from Burnley in 1890 as far as Waverley Rd at East Malvern to join the Outer Circle railway. The section from Darling to Waverley Rd was closed in the early 1890s, but the line was extended from Darling to East Malvern in 1929 and to Glen Waverley in 1930. It was expected that the extension of the railway would lead to housing development, but it didn't because of the Great Depression. This led to all sorts of problems for ratepayers living near the railway. Development of these outer areas came after World War II.
