Chelsea railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Chelsea, and it opened on 4 February 1907. [4]
Chelsea station opened on 4 February 1907 [4] and, like the suburb itself, was named after Chelsea in London, England. [5] [6] The name was suggested by local farmer Bertha Black, whose mother was originally from Chelsea. [5] [6]
In 1977, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Chelsea Road level crossing, which was located at the up end of the station. [7] The interlocked frame was also abolished at this time, replaced by a control panel within the former signal box. [8]
In 1984, the overhead wire for a siding at the station was removed and, in 1987, the siding was abolished. [4]
In 2003, the control panel was permanently switched out. [9] In 2004, a crossover that was located at the Frankston end of the station was abolished. [10]
On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade Chelsea to a premium station, along with nineteen others. [11] [12] However, in March 2011, this was scrapped by the Baillieu Government. [13]
On 9 December 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project released designs for the removal of the Chelsea Road level crossing and the rebuilding of the station, [14] with contracts for the removal of the level crossing signed two days later, on 11 December. [15] In 2020, construction started and, on 25 July 2021, the station was closed for demolition. [16] On 22 November of that year, the rebuilt station opened to passengers, along with nearby Edithvale and Bonbeach. [17] [18] The line was rebuilt below in a trench, with the level crossing permanently closed to road vehicles, and nearby Thames Promenade extended to the Nepean Highway. [19]
Chelsea has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Frankston line services. [20]
