Carrum railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Carrum, opening on 1 August 1882.[1]
A signal box is located on Platform 1, which controls a crossover to allow trains to terminate here. The interlocked frame at this signal box was abolished in 1976, replaced by a control panel,[2] with boom barriers replacing interlocked gates at the level crossing, at up end of the station, in 1977.[3] Approximately 100 metres south of the station is a stabling yard that can hold a number of trains. It was upgraded to a Premium station on 20 December 1995.[4]
Additional shelters were added to the station in October 2015, along with an upgrade of the toilets on Platform 1.[5]
