Hallam railway station is located on the Pakenham line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Hallam, and it opened on 1 December 1880 as Hallam's Road. It was renamed Hallam on 2 May 1904.[1]
Disused station General Motors is located between Hallam and Dandenong.
History
Hallam station opened on 1 December 1880 as a single platform, just over three years after the railway line from Dandenong was extended to Pakenham.[1] The station gets its name from Hallam's Road, itself named after William Hallam, who settled in the area in 1856 and operated a general store and hotel on the present day corner of the Princes Highway and Hallam Road.[2][3]
In 1954, a goods siding at the station was closed.[1] Between 1955 and 1956, the former ground level platforms were provided, when the line between Dandenong and Narre Warren was duplicated.[1]
In 1959, flashing light signals replaced hand gates at the former Hallam South Road level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station,[1] with boom barriers provided in 1985.[4] On 16 July 1990, the station officially operated for passenger business only.[5]
Sometime during or after 1995, the former ground level station shelters were provided.[6]
On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade Hallam to a premium station, along with nineteen others.[7][8] However, in March 2011, this was scrapped by the Baillieu Government.[9]
On 2 April 2022, the Hallam South Road level crossing was abolished as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project,[10] and was replaced with a rail bridge over the road, which included a new, rebuilt elevated station.[11] On 2 May of that year, the rebuilt station opened.[12]
