Location

Collingwood station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Mernda and Hurstbridge lines, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the north-eastern suburb of Abbotsford, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Collingwood is an elevated unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. The station opened on 21 October 1901 and was reconstructed in 1987.[7]

Initially opened as Collingwood Town Hall, the station was given its current name on 1 May 1909.[7]

Although it is named after the suburb of Collingwood, and is adjacent to the former Collingwood Town Hall, the station is actually located in the neighbouring suburb of Abbotsford.[8]

During 1986 and 1987, the station buildings and platforms were rebuilt,[9][10] and were in use by 7 September 1987.[11]
