Seaholme railway station is a commuter railway station on the Werribee line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the western suburb of the same name, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Seaholme station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 26 January 1920.[4][5]

History

Seaholme station opened on what was then a branch line to Altona Beach.[4][5] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after a housing estate that was opened up in the early 1920s.[6]

In 1954, flashing light signals were provided at the Millers Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station,[4] with boom barriers provided in 1985.[4] In 2020, the boom barriers were replaced with a new mechanical system and repainted into the current red and white scheme.

During the 2016/2017 financial year, Seaholme was the fifth-least-used station on Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 103,446 passenger movements recorded.[7]

There used to be two stations, Mobiltown[8] and Williamstown Racecourse,[9] between Seaholme and Newport, but they are now closed and demolished.
