History

Ivanhoe station opened on 8 May 1888, when a railway line between Collingwood and Heidelberg was provided. [4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the novel Ivanhoe , written in 1820 by author Sir Walter Scott. [5] [6]

In 1949, the line between Ivanhoe and Heidelberg was duplicated. [4] In 1951, duplication to Alphington was provided. [4]

In 1960, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Marshall Street level crossing, located nearby in the down direction of the station. [7] The signal box for the level crossing was also abolished during that time. [4] In 1979, the station received a minor upgrade. [8]

On 21 June 1996, Ivanhoe was upgraded to a premium station. [9]
