Tottenham railway station is located on the Sunbury line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburbs of Tottenham and West Footscray, opening on 2 March 1891.[1] It is located above the Ashley Street rail overpass, which provides station access.

Tottenham Yard lies north of the station. A number of freight only lines also run alongside, along with the Melbourne - Sydney standard gauge line. The Regional Rail Link lines run to the south of the station.[2]

The station was rebuilt as an island platform in 1981 to eliminate the Ashley Street level crossing, replacing it with a rail overpass over a two-lane road tunnel. At the same time the station buildings were reconstructed, and the signal box demolished.[3][4]
