History
Thornbury station opened on 8 October 1889, when the Inner Circle line was extended from North Fitzroy to Reservoir, Thornbury station, like the suburb itself, is named after the Thornbury Park Estate, named after a farm owned by settler Job Smith. Smith named the farm after his birthplace in England.
In 1973, both platforms were extended at the down end of the station.
During October 1987, the double line block system between Thornbury and Northcote was abolished, and replaced with three-position signalling, with all two position signals between Thornbury and Merri also abolished. A number of signal posts were also abolished during this time.
In early 1988, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Hutton Street level crossing, located at the up end of the station.
