Ruthven station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Mernda line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the northern suburb of Reservoir, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It opened on 5 August 1963.[1][2]
History
Ruthven station was named after William Ruthven, who served in both world wars (winning the Victoria Cross in World War I), and was later a member of the Victorian Parliament, representing Preston and then Reservoir.[3][4] A ceremony was held a day earlier to celebrate the opening, and dignitaries attending included Transport Minister Edward Meagher, and the opposition leader in the Victorian Legislative Council, John Galbally.[5][6] When it opened, the station building was painted bright red.[5]
In 2022, Ruthven received a $1.03 million upgrade, as part of the Victoria's Big Build project,[7][8] including improved facilities and lighting, resurfacing the asphalt on the island platform, new PTV station signage with the red "Clifton Hill group" colour, and a substation constructed opposite Platform 1.[7][8]
Platforms and services
Ruthven has one island platform with two faces and is served by Mernda line trains.[9]
