Alphington railway station

Alphington railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Alphington, and opened on 8 May 1888.

History
Alphington station opened on 8 May 1888, when a railway line between Collingwood and Heidelberg was provided. Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Alphington in Devon, England, which was the birthplace of Sir William Manning, who subdivided his property in the area into a village.

In 1912, duplication between Westgarth and Alphington was provided. In 1951, duplication to Ivanhoe was provided.

In 1966, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Yarralea Street level crossing, located at the down end of the station. The signal box and a goods yard were also abolished at that time.

In 1979, the current station buildings were provided.
