Glenroy railway station is located on the Craigieburn line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Glenroy, and opened on 24 January 1887.[1]

History

Glenroy station opened on 24 January 1887,[1] with the railway line past the site of the station opening in 1872, as part of the North East line to School House Lane.[2] Like the suburb itself, the station is named after a pastoral run occupied by Duncan Cameron, who originated from Glen Roy, Scotland.[3][4]

In 1908, a goods siding was provided and, in 1950, it was extended to a nearby flour mill. Hand gates protected the former Glenroy Road level crossing until 1957, when boom barriers were provided.[5] In 1965, the double line block signalling between Broadmeadows and Essendon was abolished, and replaced with three-position signalling.[1] All mechanical interlocking at the station was also abolished, and a signal panel was provided.[1]

On 14 September 1973, Tait motor carriage 424M was destroyed by fire at the station.[6]

The original station buildings were provided in 1886 and, in 1976, were replaced with brick structures.[7] In 1987, the signal panel was abolished.[1]

In 1999, Glenroy was upgraded to a premium station.[8]

The station was rebuilt for a second time by the Level Crossing Removal Project, due to the grade separation of the Glenroy Road level crossing.[9] On 2 July 2019, it was announced that the level crossing would be removed by lowering the railway line underneath Glenroy Road, and would include a rebuilt station.[10] On 11 October 2020, designs for the new station were released.[11] Major construction began soon after and, on 6 May 2022, the rebuilt station opened.[12]
