Upfield railway station is the terminus of the suburban electrified Upfield line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the northern Melbourne suburbs of Campbellfield, Dallas, and Coolaroo and opened on 8 October 1889 as North Campbellfield. It closed on 13 July 1903, reopened on 5 March 1928, closed again on 5 May 1956, and reopened again on 17 May 1965 as Upfield.[1]
The station was upgraded in 2002-2003,[2] and was classified as a Premium station in December 2007.[3]
A stabling yard is located north of the station, which was provided in 1997.[4]
The line previously continued to Somerton. Under the PTV Network Development Plan, this line would be reinstated, and will include a flyover over the North East standard gauge line. This will allow Seymour V/Line services to run via Upfield, and eventual electrification of the line to Wallan.[5]
