History


Opening on 20 September 1919, Edithvale station gets it name from Edithvale Road, itself named after a local farm, Edithvale Farm, which was established in the 1850s and owned by John and Edith Greves.
In its early years, a siding existed on the down side before Platform 2.
In 1978, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Edithvale Road level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station. In 1981, the former ground level station buildings were provided.
On 28 July 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the level crossing was fast-tracked to be grade separated by 2022. Construction started in 2020, with the former ground level station closing on 25 July 2021 for demolition. On 22 November of that year, the rebuilt station opened to passengers. As part of the project, the line was lowered into a trench, and the station rebuilt, along with Chelsea and Bonbeach.
