History
The current location of Grange railway station, on the eastern side of Military Road, dates from 9 March 1986. Previously the station was located on the western side of Military Road. The station was moved to prevent traffic flow along Military Road from being interrupted by the arrival of trains. This platform still remains intact. The first platform of the three platforms (1882) was to the north east of the current platform in Terminus Street. There are no visible remains.
