Canterbury railway station is a commuter railway station on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, which are both part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the eastern suburb of Canterbury, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Canterbury station is an elevated unstaffed station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 1 December 1882, with the current station provided in 1968 and platform 3 in 1971.^[4]

History

Canterbury station opened on 1 December 1882, when the railway line from Camberwell was extended to Lilydale.^[4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Viscount Canterbury, Governor of Victoria between 1866 and 1873.^[5]^[6]

In the 1930s, a crossover was provided at the southern (up) end of the station, and a signal box provided to work the interlocked level crossing gates.^[7]

In early 1966, work on the grade separation of the Canterbury Road level crossing commenced. To facilitate construction, the interlocked gates were replaced with boom barriers, and the signal box was abolished.^[4] On 15 September 1968, the current station opened, with all works completed by December of that year.^[4] The works involved raising the station six metres, and the use of a temporary track to keep services operating. In December 1971, services on the third track from East Camberwell were extended though the station to Box Hill.^[8]
