Calder Park station is a currently proposed station on Metro Trains Melbourne’s Sunbury line in Melbourne. The station will be located next to Calder Park Drive and adjacent to the Calder Park Raceway.
History
As part of the construction of the Bendigo line during the 1850s, a railway station was built nearby at Holden Road and was named Holden. However it closed only a year after opening in 1860.[1] The area around Calder Park remained unbuilt on until 1962 when the Calder Park Raceway was built.[2]
The surrounding area began to be gazetted and developed beginning in the 1970s with the suburbs of Taylors Lakes and Keilor North being built around the area.[3] As a result of the urbanisation the St Albans line was extended to Sydenham in 2002 and Sunbury in 2012[4][5] As a result of the electrification to Sunbury provision was left in the overhead structures for a station next to Calder Park Drive. Ever since there have been numerous promises for a station at the location[6]
