Northcote railway station is a commuter railway station on the Mernda line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the north-eastern suburb of Northcote, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Northcote station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 8 October 1889.
Initially opened as Middle Northcote, the station was given its current name of Northcote on 10 December 1906.




History


Northcote station opened on 8 October 1889, when the Inner Circle line was extended from North Fitzroy to Reservoir. Like the suburb itself, the station is believed to be named after Stafford Henry Northcote, who was British Chancellor of the Exchequer between 1874 and 1880, Foreign Secretary between 1885 and 1886, and a co-author of the Northcote–Trevelyan Report in 1853.
In 1973, both platforms were extended at the down end of the station.
In 1986, the former goods sidings, located at the down end of the station, were abolished. A crossover, also located at the down end, was spiked out of use around that time, and was removed at a later date.
During October 1987, the double line block system between Northcote – Merri and Northcote – Thornbury was abolished, and replaced with three position signalling. Also occurring in that year, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Arthurton Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station. The signal box for the level crossing was also abolished during that time.
On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade Northcote to a premium station, along with nineteen others. However, in March 2011, this was scrapped by the Baillieu Government.
