Ascot Vale station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Craigieburn line, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the northern suburb of Ascot Vale in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Ascot Vale station is a ground-level host station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 1 November 1860, with the current station provided in 1871. It initially closed on 1 July 1864, then reopened on 9 October 1871.[1]

History

Ascot Vale station opened on 1 November 1860, just over a week after the railway line to Essendon opened as part of the private Melbourne and Essendon Railway Company.[1] The station closed with the line on 1 July 1864, but was reopened on 9 October 1871, under government ownership.[2] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Ascot Racecourse in England, given its proximity to Flemington Racecourse.[3][4]

In 1882, a temporary station building was provided, after duplication of the line, with the present building on Platform 1 dating from 1889. A signal box was provided in the same year, but was closed with the abolition of mechanical signalling in 1918.[2]
