Hawthorn railway station is a commuter railway station on the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale lines, serving the eastern Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn in Victoria, Australia. Hawthorn is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register,[4] and was opened on 13 April 1861.[5]
History
Hawthorn station opened when the railway line from Pic-nic was extended across the Yarra River.[5] When it opened, Hawthorn was a terminus, with a single platform, the current Platform 1. In 1882, after the line was extended to Camberwell, an additional platform was constructed.[5] In 1890, an island platform was provided to accommodate the newly opened branch line to Kew, using a canopy from the original Flinders Street station.
In 1963, a third track was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell,[5] which was extended across the Yarra River to Burnley in 1972.[5] The third track allows bi-directional running on the middle track for express services during peak hour. A signal box at the station was abolished in that same year.[5]
In 1973, bulk briquette handling facilities were abolished at the station and,[6] by 1977, the goods yard was closed altogether,[5] with the siding and connection to the yard abolished in 1978.[5]
By the mid 1980s, the station had not been maintained for many years and was in a dilapidated state. In 1984, the Victorian State Government, with the Metropolitan Transit Authority (The Met), approved a $300,000 face-lift of the station, which included repainting, the re-panelling of the waiting room, the re-cladding of the canopies and landscaping.[7] The refurbishment was completed by May 1986.[8]
