Albion railway station is a commuter railway station on the Sunbury line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the western suburb of Albion, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Albion station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 5 January 1860, with the current station provided in 1919. The station was originally closed on 1 January 1861, then reopened on 24 March 1891.
Initially opened as Albion and Darlington, the station was given its current name of Albion on 24 March 1891, upon its reopening.
The Melbourne – Sydney standard gauge line passes to the east of the station and, along with the Albion – Jacana freight line, branches off north of the station.




History


The Melbourne & Murray River Railway (now the Bendigo line) opened in 1859, operating from Footscray to Sunbury. By the early 1860s, the line had been extended to Bendigo. A station named Albion and Darlington was built on the site of the current station, opening on 5 January 1860. Albion and Darlington only remained open for a single year. In 1891, a new station, named Albion, opened to the west of the previous station. In 1919, Albion was relocated to its current site.
In 1961, the former Ballarat Road level crossing was grade separated, and was replaced with a road overpass, just north of the station.
Until 1961, the station had a signal box to control of the junction with the Albion – Jacana freight line, after which it was replaced by a signal panel, which was moved to the Sunshine signal box in 1965. In 1972, both platforms were extended. In 2022, both platforms were again extended at the up end.
As part of the Melbourne Airport rail link project, Albion is scheduled to be rebuilt. An 18-metre high flyover will be built above the station and Ballarat Road.
