Tyabb railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Tyabb, and it opened on 10 September 1889.[1]

Signals were once provided at the station, however they were abolished in 1947.[1]

Flashing light signals were provided at the Mornington–Tyabb Road level crossing, located nearby in the Down direction of the station, in 1966,[1] with boom barriers provided later on in 2006.[2]

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips began on the line,[3] with the passenger service reinstated on 27 September 1984.[1]

By May 1983, the station operated under no-one in charge conditions.[1]

Until February 1986, the station consisted of a waiting room, basic toilets and a ticket office.[4] As part of a government rationalisation of public transport, these facilities were no longer deemed necessary, and the buildings were demolished and replaced with the current shelters.[4]
