Hastings railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Hastings, and it opened on 10 September 1889.[1]

The station once had a goods yard opposite the platform, however it is now closed and the tracks have been removed, with a disused crane remaining on site. In 1973, a number of roads in the yard were extended.[1]

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[1] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began,[2] and the passenger service was reinstated on 27 September 1984.[1]

The current station building was provided in February 1986, replacing the original wooden building.[3]

In 2004, points at the Up and Down ends of the station were removed, and the track was straight railed.[1]
