Opened as Bay Street, the station was subsequently renamed three time: to North Brighton on 1 January 1867, to Brighton on 1 December 1908, and back to North Brighton on 1 January 1920.[4]

History

North Brighton station opened when the railway was extended to there from Windsor. It was a terminus until 21 December 1861, when the line was further extended to Brighton Beach.[4]

In 1956, the station was closed to goods services.[4] In 1959, a crossover at the station was abolished.[4] In 1963, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Bay Street level crossing, located at the down end of the station, and the signal boxwas abolished at the same time.[5]

On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade North Brighton to a premium station, along with nineteen others.[6][7] However, in March 2011, that decision was reversed by the Baillieu Government.[8]
