Seaholme railway station is located on the Werribee line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Seaholme, and opened on 26 January 1920, on what was then the line to Altona Beach.[1][2]
In 1954, flashing light signals were provided at the Millers Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station,[1] with boom barriers provided in 1985.[1] In 2020, the boom barriers were replaced with a newer system and repainted into the more current Red and White scheme.
In 2016/2017, Seaholme was the fifth-least-used station on Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 103,446 passenger movements recorded.[3]
There were two stations, Mobiltown[4] and Williamstown Racecourse,[5] between Seaholme and Newport, but they are now closed and demolished.
