Hobart railway station

Hobart railway station was a railway station in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The former station, which was on the South Line, was the largest railway station on the Tasmanian Government Railways (TGR) network. It provided passenger train services to Hobart's northern suburbs and served as the central terminus for the Tasman Limited, a limited express service linking Hobart, Launceston and Wynyard.

Hobart was built in 1871 by the Tasmanian Main Line Company (TML), the station was significantly expanded in the early 1950s. Major upgrades included the addition of three 180-metre (600 ft) long concrete cantilevered canopies, four platforms, a large concourse, and various amenities such as shopping stalls and food vendors.

By the mid-1970s, the station handled over seventy commuter trains daily. However, with a decline in passenger numbers due to the growth of privately owned vehicles and the transfer of rail transport operations to Australian National Railways, the station's significance waned. The last Tasman Limited passenger service departed on July 18, 1978.

Following the announcement of the Sheraton Hotel masterplan, the station was sold and redeveloped into the headquarters of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in the mid-1980s. Sections of the track were removed to connect the Tasman Highway through Davey and Macquarie Streets.
