Eltham railway station, Melbourne

Eltham railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Eltham, and opened on 5 June 1902.

It is the terminus for a number of peak and off-peak services on the line. Five stabling sidings are located to the west of Platform 2, with the site previously having been a goods yard. The last wooden trestle bridge on the Melbourne suburban network is located south of the station.

Boom barriers were provided at the Diamond Street level crossing, located at the Down end of the station, in 1987.

In the 1990s, Platform 1 was converted from a south facing bay platform to a through platform.

Eltham was one of the last stations in Melbourne to be controlled by mechanical safeworking, including semaphore signals. It was also a break between two different types of safeworking; Greensborough to Eltham was controlled by Miniature Electric Staff, whilst Eltham to Hurstbridge was controlled by Train Staff and Ticket. Both safeworking systems were converted to Automatic Track Control (ATC) in early 2013. A new train driver amenity building was also constructed around this time.
