History edit

Auburn station opened on 3 April 1882, when the railway line from Hawthorn was extended to Camberwell.[4] The station was named after two nearby residences which were built in the 1850s.[5][6] Reverend Henry Liddiard's Auburn Lodge was built south of Burwood Road, between Glenferrie and Auburn Roads,[5] while John Collings' Auburn House was built south of Liddiard's residence in the present day Goodall Street.[5]

The current two-storey station building dates back to 1916, when the line between Hawthorn and Camberwell was regraded. It features brick and stucco facades punctuated by arches, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[7]

In 1963, a third line was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell.[4] These works included a new up platform (Platform 1), with Platform 2 becoming a bi-directional platform.[4]

Platforms and services edit

Auburn has one island platform with two faces and one side platform. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Lilydale, Belgrave and Alamein line services.[8][9][10]
