Tottenham railway station is located on the Sunbury line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of West Footscray and opened on 2 March 1891.^[4]

The station is located on the Ashley Street rail overpass, which provides station access. Tottenham Yard runs north of the station. A number of freight-only lines also operate alongside, as well as the Melbourne – Sydney and Melbourne – Adelaide standard gauge lines. The Regional Rail Link lines run on the south side of the station.^[5]

History

Tottenham station, as with the adjacent suburb, was named after Tottenham in Middlesex, England.^[6]

During 1981–1982, the existing ground-level station was rebuilt as part of the scheme to eliminate the Ashley Street level crossing. The new station was an island platform on a rail overpass, which extended the existing two-lane road tunnel. The new up line opened on 19 May 1981,^[4] and the down line and island platform opened on 27 July 1982.^[4] At the same time, the signal box was demolished, and a number of signal posts and a crossover were abolished.^[4][7][8]

In 2014, the station underwent minor upgrades as part of the Regional Rail Link (RRL) project. The biggest of those was the further extension of the bridge over Ashley Street, to accommodate the new RRL tracks. The façade facing Sunshine Road was also upgraded, and a new car park and "park and ride" facilities were added. A power substation was also built on Sunshine Road, just beyond the car park.

White City station used to be located between Tottenham and Sunshine. On 4 October 1981, White City was closed to all traffic and demolished.^[9]

Platforms and services

Tottenham has one island platform with two faces. It is served by Sunbury line trains. Express services do not stop at Tottenham.^[10]

Platform 1:

•  Sunbury line  all stations services to Flinders Street

Platform 2:

•  Sunbury line  all stations services to Watergardens and Sunbury

By late 2025, it is planned that services on the Sunbury line will be through-routed to the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, via the new Metro Tunnel.
