Batman railway station is located on the Upfield line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Coburg North and it opened on 8 October 1889 as Bell Park. It closed on 13 July 1903, and reopened on 1 October 1914 as Batman.[1]
History
Batman station opened when the railway line was extended from Coburg to Somerton.[1] It was named after one of the founders of Melbourne, John Batman.[2]
In 1920, a siding for the former Lincoln Mills knitting works on Gaffney Street was provided.[1] In 1959, the current island platform was provided, when the line was duplicated between Coburg and Fawkner.[1]
In 1970, the siding serving the Lincoln Mills knitting works was abolished, along with the associated signal discs and posts.[1] In 1982, a crossover at the station was abolished, along with a number of signals and levers.[1]
There is a disused signal box at the up end of the station, which was provided in 1935, controlling interlocked gates at the Gaffney Street level crossing.[1] In 1998, the gates were replaced with boom barriers, when the Upfield line was upgraded.[3]
