Broadmeadows is a railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in the suburb of Broadmeadows, on the Craigieburn railway line. Broadmeadows is classed as a Premium Station and is in Metcard Zone 2. Broadmeadows station originally opened on February 1, 1873.

Facilities

The station consists of two side platforms: Platform 1 (Flinders Street bound) has a small steel shelter and a small waiting room building, while platform 2 (Upfield bound) has a large bluestone building with an enclosed waiting room, a ticket office and toilets with an office tower built on top. A large Metcard machine is located inside the waiting room, which is able to dispense most ticketing options and also accept notes and coins. An underpass is situated at the Flinders Street end of the station, whilst stabling facilities are located at the down end of the station.

The station is located between Pascoe Vale Road and Railway Crescent, with station access from both. The Melbourne - Sydney standard gauge line is adjacent to the station on the eastern side, and at the city end the Albion-Jacana freight line branches westward from the main line, providing an alternate route to Melbourne from the suburban lines via Essendon.

It was upgraded to Premium Station status on March 21 1996, although the waiting room and ticket facilities were built in 1990 as part of a commercial development of the site.cite journal
