Anstey railway station is located on the Upfield line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburb of Brunswick and opened on 15 December 1926 as North Brunswick. It was renamed Anstey on 1 December 1942.[1]
Anstey station was renamed in honour of former member of parliament, Frank Anstey, who represented the local area in the seats of East Bourke Boroughs and Brunswick in the state parliament, and Burke in the federal parliament, between 1902 and 1934.[2]
In 1971, the station platforms were lengthened.[1] In 1998, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Albion Street level crossing, at the down end of the station.[3] The signal box controlling the level crossing was also abolished during that time.[3]
In 2020, the station became a temporary terminus while level crossing removals occurred at Coburg and Moreland.[4] A temporary crossover was provided at the up end of the station, to allow trains to terminate and return to Flinders Street.[1]
On 19 September 2022, it was announced that Anstey, along with Jewell and Brunswick, would be elevated to remove eight level crossings on the line.[5] Further details, designs and a construction timeline will be released closer to 2027.
Anstey has two side platforms. It is served by Upfield line trains.[6]
