Middle Brighton railway station is a commuter railway station on the Sandringham line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Brighton, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Middle Brighton station is a ground level host station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 21 December 1861.[1]
Initially opened as Church Street, the station was given its current name of Middle Brighton on 1 January 1867.[2]
Middle Brighton station opened on 21 December 1861, when the railway line from North Brighton was extended to Brighton Beach.[1]
In 1926, a crossover located between both platforms was abolished.[1] In 1942, a siding was removed.[1]
In 1963, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Church Street level crossing, located at the down end of the station.[3] The signal box that protected the level crossing was also abolished during this time.[1]
Middle Brighton has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Sandringham line services.[4]
