North Brighton Railway Station
History
North Brighton station opened on 19 December 1859, when the railway line was extended from Windsor. It remained a terminus until 21 December 1861, when the line was extended to Brighton Beach.
In 1956, the station was closed to goods services. In 1959, a crossover at the station was abolished. In 1963, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Bay Street level crossing, located at the down end of the station, with the signal box also abolished at the same time.
On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade North Brighton to a premium station, along with nineteen others. However, in March 2011, this was scrapped by the Baillieu Government.
