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.
