Auburn station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Alamein, Lilydale and Belgrave lines, which are part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the eastern suburb of Hawthorn East, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Auburn station is a ground level host station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 3 April 1882, with the current station provided in 1916.[4]
Initially opened as Auburn Road, the station was given its current name of Auburn on 1 September 1882.
Auburn station opened on 3 April 1882, when the railway line from Hawthorn was extended to Camberwell.[4] The station was named after two nearby residences which were built in the 1850s.[5][6] Reverend Henry Liddiard’s Auburn Lodge was built south of Burwood Road, between Glenferrie and Auburn Roads,[5] while John Collings’ Auburn House was built south of Liddiard’s residence in the present day Goodall Street.[5]
The current two-storey station building dates back to 1916, when the line between Hawthorn and Camberwell was regraded. It features brick and stucco facades punctuated by arches, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[7]
In 1963, a third line was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell.[4] These works included a new up platform (Platform 1), with Platform 2 becoming a bi-directional platform.[4]
