Springhurst railway station is located on the North East line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of the same name, and opened on 29 November 1873 as Springs. It was renamed Springhurst in October 1890.

History

Springhurst handled heavy traffic from the Wahgunyah district, until the opening of the Wahgunyah branch line in 1879. A weatherboard station building was erected in 1878, next to a through-track goods shed that had been provided earlier. Track layout alterations were made in 1885, 1899, 1906 and 1919. A signal cabin was provided in 1887, but was moved into the station building in 1899. Also in that year, the platform was extended to 110 metres. The present brick station building dates to 1950. The adjacent Albury - Melbourne standard gauge line and road underpass were built in 1962. In 1969, a siding leading to the former turntable was abolished. In September 1979, the former goods shed was demolished. In 1990, No. 5 road and siding "A" were abolished, as was the connection from No. 2 road to the Wahgunyah line. The original platform (now Platform 2) was located on the former broad gauge line. In 2011, that line was converted to standard gauge, and another platform (Platform 1) was built on the existing standard gauge line, which had opened in 1962. In recent years, the station has had very low patronage. In 2016-2017, it only recorded 1,566 passengers, or around four passengers a day. Bowser station, now demolished, it was located between Springhurst and Wangaratta.
