Ascot Vale railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Ascot Vale, and it opened on 1 November 1860.[1]

History

Ascot Vale station opened on 1 November 1860, just over a week after the railway line to Essendon opened as part of the private Melbourne and Essendon Railway Company.[1] The station closed with the line on 1 July 1864, but was reopened on 9 October 1871, under government ownership.[2] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Ascot Racecourse in England, given its proximity to Flemington Racecourse.[3][4]

In 1882, a temporary station building was provided, after duplication of the line, with the present building on Platform 1 dating from 1889. A signal box was provided in the same year, but was closed with the abolition of mechanical signalling in 1918.[2]
