Ivanhoe railway station is a commuter railway station on the Hurstbridge line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the north-eastern suburb of Ivanhoe, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Ivanhoe station is a ground level premium station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 8 May 1888.[4]
History
Ivanhoe station opened when the railway line between Collingwood and Heidelberg opened.[4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the novel Ivanhoe, written in 1820 by author Sir Walter Scott.[5][6]
In 1949, the line between Ivanhoe and Heidelberg was duplicated.[4] In 1951, track duplication from Ivanhoe to Alphington was completed.[4]
In 1960, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Marshall Street level crossing, located nearby in the down direction from the station.[7] The signal box controlling the level crossing gates was also abolished at that time.[4] In 1979, the station received a minor upgrade.[8]
On 21 June 1996, Ivanhoe was upgraded to a premium station.[9]
