History
Moreland station opened when the railway line from North Melbourne was extended to Coburg.
On 2 May 1975, the former ground-level station was damaged by fire.
In 1983, a number of sidings at the station were dismantled. In August 1988, former sidings "A", "B" and "C" and associated point work were abolished. Also abolished were the up and down end crossovers, and a number of disc signals. The level crossings and ground level station closed on 27 July 2020; the elevated line opened to trains on 2 November 2020, and the rebuilt station opened to passengers on 14 December 2020. The Platform 1 heritage building of the former ground level station was restored during these works.
