History
The station opened on 21 June 1887 as Robbinsville and was renamed Thirroul in November 1891.[1]
The Platform 1 weatherboard building was relocated from Scarborough in 1915 when the line was duplicated. In 1939 the original platform was converted to an island platform.[2] Until the 1960s, Thirroul Railway Depot existed to the north of the station.
