Bendigo railway station is located on the Deniliquin and Piangil lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the city of Bendigo, and opened on 21 October 1862 as Sandhurst. It was renamed Bendigo on 1 September 1891. [1]

Contents

Situated on the eastern edge of the central business district of Bendigo, the name of the station was changed in 1891, when the city was also renamed. The station also serves as the terminus for many of V/Line's Bendigo line services.

The station was rebuilt after being destroyed by fire on 23 December 1965. [2]

The station building on Platform 2 was refurbished in 1984. [3] The light refreshment booth was demolished around that time, and the footbridge and ironwork were repainted. [3] Additional refurbishments occurred in 1988. [4]

During 1989/1990, much of the station and yard was rearranged to its current layout, including the abolition of signal boxes "A", "B", "C" and "D", and the provision of new signal masts and turnouts. [5]

The disused station at Golden Square is located between Bendigo and Kangaroo Flat.
