Showgrounds station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Flemington Racecourse line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. The station opened on 7 November 1883 and is only used during special events at the Melbourne Showgrounds, such as the annual Royal Melbourne Show.[1]
There are three signal boxes at Showgrounds, but the one included in a rostrum on the platform was decommissioned in 2014.[2] There are several portable buildings providing staff amenities, and a wooden building for selling rail tickets. Also on the platform are turnstiles for entry to the Melbourne Showgrounds, and a Ticketek booking office for admission tickets to events.
