Epping railway station is located on the South Morang line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Epping opening on 23 December 1889 as a station on the line to Whittlesea.〔(Epping ) Vicsig〕 ==History== Services to the station were operated as country services. From 1924 an AEC railmotor shuttle service operated from Reservoir to Whittlesea operated until the line was closed north of Lalor station in November 1959. In November 1964 a new station opened a little down the line as part of the electrification of the line from Lalor to Epping with the station building relocated from Glen Waverley station which was being rebuilt at the time.〔 The station was rebuilt during the late 1980s in conjunction with the construction of the adjacent train depot, with the north face of the current island platform brought into use in July 1987 along with temporary station buildings. The new platform was built on a new alignment with 200 metres of new track needed to link to the existing line. The old platform and station building was demolished in 1987. The new Solid State Interlocking was commissioned in 1989,〔(Epping Signal Box ) Vicsig〕 and was the first fully computerised system in Melbourne.〔 The suburban train depot was opened in 1990. The depot was opened to replace the Jolimont Workshops in central Melbourne. The depot covers 10.8 hectares, and can accommodate 31 trains, with the facility including a main workshop building, four elevated tracks, two lifting tracks, and a train wash. Epping was upgraded to a Premium station in 1998. In 2010, construction commenced on a new island platform north of Cooper Street built below ground level as part of a grade separation project. This was part of the duplication of the line from Keon Park and its extension to South Morang. The new station opened on 28 November 2011.〔(Rail line boost already on track ) ''Herald Sun'' 28 November 2011〕〔(South Morang Rail Alliance ) John Holland〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epping railway station, Melbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
