Diamond Creek railway station is located on the Hurstbridge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the north-eastern Melbourne suburb of Diamond Creek opening on 25 June 1912.〔(Diamond Creek ) Vicsig〕 A passing loop had been present at the station for many years (believed to have been originally used as a goods siding). In 1994 a second platform was constructed on the passing loop. Before then one train had to set back after using the platform, then enter the loop to allow another train to pass. Originally both platforms were bi-directional. Today platform 2 can only be used by Hurstbridge bound trains with the introduction of electronic signalling in 2008. Diamond Creek was one of the last stations in Melbourne controlled by the Staff and Ticket safeworking system, including semaphore signals. The station was a break for two sections of the safeworking system; Eltham to Diamond Creek and Diamond Creek to Hurstbridge. As a result, Metro Trains staff were required to operate the safeworking system, including operating the points for the crossing loop. In 2008 the signals and the points were upgraded to be controlled electronically and in early 2013 the safe working system was converted to Automatic & Track Control (ATC).〔(Hurstbridge Line ) VICSIG.
