Stony Point railway station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne and the terminus of the Stony Point line, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the town of Crib Point in Victoria, Australia. Stony Point is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 17 December 1889, with the current station provided in 1984. It initially closed on 10 June 1981, then reopened on 27 September 1984.[1]
History
In 1910, a turntable was provided at the station. By November 1960, it was out of use and, by March 1963, was abolished.[1]
In 1976, a siding at the up end of the station was removed.[1] The following year, in 1977, the goods yard was closed.[1]
On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[1] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began and,[2] on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated.[1]
A run-around loop exists to the north and west of the station, but has not been regularly used since locomotive hauled services ceased in April 2008.
In June 2014, the platform length was reduced from around 150 metres to 103 metres. This was done as the extra length used for longer locomotives was no longer required.[3]
