Brunswick railway station is located on the Upfield line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of the same name and opened on 9 September 1884.[1]
The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[2]
History
Brunswick station opened when the railway line from North Melbourne was extended to Coburg. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Brunswick Park, a property that was purchased by Thomas Wilkinson and a partner.[3][4] Brunswick Park was named in honour of either Princess Caroline of Brunswick, or the 1840 marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert, of the royal house of Brunswick.[3][4]
Brunswick had a goods yard which closed in 1966.[1] The goods siding and associated points and signal discs were abolished in that same year.[1] In 1972, the station platforms were lengthened.[1]
Just after 4:45am on 2 August 1977, a seven-car Harris train set rolled away from Gowrie, after the driver and guard were changing ends after taking the train out of a siding, because it was scheduled to operate a city-bound service from Upfield.[5][6][7] The train passed through fifteen level crossings and destroyed seven sets of hand gates, before stopping just south of Brunswick, between the Albert and Dawson Streets level crossings.[5][6][7]
In 1998, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the Albert Street level crossing, at the up end of the station,[8] and replaced interlocked gates at the Victoria Street level crossing, at the down end of the station.[9] The signal box protecting Victoria Street was also abolished during that time.[9]
In September 2022, it was announced that Brunswick, along with other stations on the Upfield line, would be elevated to remove eight level crossings on the line.[10] Further details, designs and a construction timeline will be released closer to 2027.
