Croydon railway station is a commuter railway station on the Lilydale line, serving the eastern Melbourne suburb of Croydon in Victoria, Australia. Croydon is a premium status ground structure station featuring two side platforms. It opened on 1 December 1882 as Warrandyte before being renamed Croydon on 1 August 1884.[1]
History
Croydon station opened on 1 December 1882, when the railway line from Camberwell was extended to Lilydale.[1] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Croydon in Surrey, England.[2] The name was suggested by local landowner Gregory Lacey, whose wife was originally from Croydon.[2] The station was built on parts of land owned by Lacey.[2]
In 1957, the line between Croydon and Mooroolbark was duplicated, with a number of sidings provided at the same time.[1] In 1978, the goods yard was closed and, in that same year, a number of sidings were abolished.[1] In 1979, the present Coolstore Road level crossing, located in the down direction of the station, was provided, replacing a previous level crossing.[1][3]
On 30 June 1984, the current Platform 1 opened, as part of the duplication of the line between Croydon and Ringwood.[4] The remaining sidings were also abolished during this time.[1] On 31 July 1996, Croydon was upgraded to a premium station.[5]
On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Coolstore Road level crossing will be grade separated by 2025, with a rail bridge to be built over the road.[6][7][8] The level crossing removal will also involve the construction of a new station. On 6 August 2022, early concept designs were released.[9] In March 2023, construction on the project began.[10] On 30 January 2024, Croydon station closed temporally to allow construction to take place,[11] with the station buildings and Platform 2 demolished in the following days.
