History

Chatham station opened on 1 April 1927,[1] with the current island platform only. Platform 3 was provided in the 1970s,[2] with services on the third track from East Camberwell extended through the station to Box Hill in 1971.[3]

The station was one of four used for the first trials of the myki ticketing system on the rail network, carried out in August 2008 by Kamco staff. The other stations were East Camberwell, Canterbury and Mont Albert stations.[4]
