Diggers Rest railway station is located on the Sunbury line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-western Melbourne suburb of Diggers Rest opening on 2 October 1859.[1]
History
<templatestyles src="Stack/styles.css"/>
Diggers Rest station opened on 2 October 1859 with the line, being the terminus until the line was extended to Woodend in 1861. A small goods shed and siding were provided at this time. Interlocked gates were provided at the Calder Highway level crossing in 1928, and were replaced with boom barriers in 1982. The goods siding was removed in 1989 and the remaining crossover was removed in 1992.
On 18 November 2012 the station was added to the metropolitan network when the line from Watergardens to Sunbury was electrified.[2][3] As part of these works the station was refurbished with both platforms extended at the southern end. The car park was also enlarged.[4]
