Ivanhoe railway station is located on the Hurstbridge lineinVictoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of the same name, and opened on 8 May 1888.^[4]

History[edit]

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]
