History
In 1889, the Cleveland line was extended from Manly to the original Cleveland station.[1][2] In 1897, the line was extended to the second Cleveland station.[3]
Cleveland station opened as the Raby Bay railway station in 1914.[4] On 1 November 1960, the station closed when the line was truncated to Lota.[5] When the station reopened on 24 October 1987, the former Raby Bay station became the third to carry the name Cleveland.[6]
