History
Hartwell station opened on 7 May 1906, under the name of "Hartwell Hill". Confusingly, Burwood was named Hartwell at the time. On 1 August 1909, Hartwell Hill was renamed Hartwell, and Hartwell was renamed Burwood. Hartwell was originally part of the "Deepdene Dasher" service that connected Ashburton with Deepdene. After the closure of the Deepdene service in 1927, Hartwell became part of the Ashburton line, which in turn became the Alamein line in 1948.
Hartwell is named after one of the early estates in the area, "Hartwell House", which was the residence of James Irwin.
The station has two platforms arranged in an island configuration (where trains arrive either side of a central shared platform). The station building is historically significant, as it was originally built for the Walhalla line, but was moved to Hartwell in December 1938, six years before the Walhalla line closed in 1944. Hartwell is the only station on the Alamein branch to have an island platform.
