Sandringham railway station is the terminus of the suburban electrified Sandringham lineinVictoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Sandringham, and it opened on 2 September 1887.[4]

Asignal box is located at the up (Flinders Street) end of the station, whilst a stabling yard is located directly opposite to the station, stabling up to four trains overnight.

History

[edit]

Sandringham station opened on 2 September 1887, when the railway line from Brighton Beach was extended.[4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Sandringham House, which was inspired by landowner and parliamentarian Charles H. Jones who, between 1864–1871 and 1886–1889, was a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly.[5][6]

Atram service, operated by the Victorian Railways, operated from Sandringham to Black Rock from 1919 until 1956. In 1957, the station was closed to goods traffic.[4]

In 1967, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Abbott Street level crossing, located at the up end of the station.[7] On 16 January 1968, a collision involving two Tait train sets occurred between Hampton and Sandringham.[8][9]

On 17 June 1988, No. 5 road was abolished, leaving the platform road and three siding roads.[4] On 30 October 1995, Sandringham was upgraded to a premium station.[10]

On 30 August 2002, Comeng motor carriage 500M was destroyed by fire as it travelled between Hampton and Sandringham.[11][12]

On 9 March 2011, a Siemens Nexas train overshot one of the sidings and crashed into a branch of the Bendigo Bank.[13]
