Bittern railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Bittern, and it opened on 17 December 1889.[1]

History

Bittern station opened on 17 December 1889, when the railway line from Hastings was extended to Stony Point.[1] Like the town itself, the station was named after the bird family of the same name.[2]

Between 1921 and 1953, Bittern was the junction for a branch line to Red Hill.[3]

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[1] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and,[4] on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated.[1] Also occurring in that year, flashing light signals were provided at the nearby Woolleys Road level crossing, located nearby in the down direction of the station.[5] In February 1986, the current passenger shelters were provided, replacing the original timber station building.[6][7]

In 1991, a siding at the station was abolished.[1]

In 2010, boom barriers were provided at the Woolleys Road level crossing.[8]
