History


Sandringham station opened on 2 September 1887, when the railway line from Brighton Beach was extended. 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.
A tram 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.
In 1967, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Abbott Street level crossing, located at the up end of the station. On 16 January 1968, a collision involving two Tait train sets occurred between Hampton and Sandringham.
On 17 June 1988, No. 5 road was abolished, leaving the platform road and three siding roads. On 30 October 1995, Sandringham was upgraded to a premium station.
On 30 August 2002, Comeng motor carriage 500M was destroyed by fire as it travelled between Hampton and Sandringham.
On 9 March 2011, a Siemens Nexas train overshot one of the sidings and crashed into a branch of the Bendigo Bank.
