Hallam railway station is a commuter railway station on the Pakenham line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Hallam, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Hallam station is an elevated structure premium station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 1 December 1880, with the current station provided in 2022.[4]
Initially opened as Hallam's Road, the station was given its current name of Hallam on 2 May 1904.[4]
Disused station General Motors is located between Hallam and Dandenong.
History
[edit]Hallam station opened on 1 December 1880 as a single platform, just over three years after the railway line from Dandenong was extended to Pakenham.[4] The station gets its name from Hallam's Road, itself named after William Hallam, who settled in the area in 1856 and operated a general store and hotel on the present day corner of the Princes Highway and Hallam Road.[5][6]
In 1954, a goods siding at the station was closed.[4] Between 1955 and 1956, the former ground level platforms were provided, when the line between Dandenong and Narre Warren was duplicated.[4]
In 1959, flashing light signals replaced hand gates at the former Hallam South Road level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station,[4] with boom barriers provided in 1985.[7] On 16 July 1990, the station officially operated for passenger business only.[8]
Sometime during or after 1995, the former ground level station shelters were provided.[9]
On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade Hallam to a premium station, along with nineteen others.[10][11] However, in March 2011, this was scrapped by the Baillieu Government.[12]
On 2 April 2022, the Hallam South Road level crossing was abolished as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project,[13] and was replaced with a rail bridge over the road, which included a new, rebuilt elevated station.[14] On 2 May of that year, the rebuilt station opened.[15]
Platforms and services
[edit]Hallam has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham line services.[16]
Platform 1:
- Pakenham line all stations and limited express services to Flinders Street
Platform 2:

By June 2025, it is planned that trains on the Pakenham line will be through-routed with those on the Sunbury line, via the new Metro Tunnel.
