Hastings railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Hastings, and it opened on 10 September 1889.[1]
The station once had a goods yard opposite the platform, however it is now closed and the tracks have been removed, with a disused crane remaining on site.
Hastings station opened on 10 September 1889, when the railway line from Baxter was extended.[1] It remained a terminus until 17 December of that year, when the line was extended to Stony Point.[1] Like the town itself, the station was named after Hastings in Sussex, England.[2] [3]
In 1962, flashing light signals were provided at the High Street level crossing, located nearby in the down direction of the station.[4] In 1973, a number of roads in the former goods yard were extended.[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On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[1] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day.[1] On 16 September 1984,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,[5] on 27 September of that year, the passenger service was reinstated.[1]
In February 1986, the current station building was provided, replacing the original timber building.[6] [7]
In 1998, boom barriers were provided at the High Street level crossing.[8]
In 2004, points at the up and down ends of the station were removed, and the track was straight railed.[9]
Hastings has one platform. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Stony Point line services.[10]
