Albert Park station opened in 1860, not long after the line though it was opened in 1857. It was originally known as Butts, being renamed to Albert Park in 1872. The station had a
signal box on the citybound platform, which controlled the interlocked gates the Bridport Street
level crossing, located at the Melbourne end of the station. An annett locked crossover also existed at the St Kilda end of the station between the two lines, being used by goods trains serving St Kilda station. The crossover was removed in 1959 when the goods service was withdrawn, and the signal box was abolished on 28 September 1960 when boom barriers were erected at the level crossing. The high level platforms used by trains and the station buildings have been fenced off from public access and the up platform is now a café and a
Victorian Railways antiquities museum. ==Tram services==
