History

Tottenham station, as with the adjacent suburb, was named after Tottenham in Middlesex, England.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

During 1981–1982, the existing ground-level station was rebuilt as part of the scheme to eliminate the Ashley Street level crossing. The new station was an island platform on a rail overpass, which extended the existing two-lane road tunnel. The new up line opened on 19 May 1981,<ref name=vicsigtottenham/> and the down line and island platform opened on 27 July 1982.<ref name=vicsigtottenham/> At the same time, the signal box was demolished, and a number of signal posts and a crossover were abolished.<ref name=vicsigtottenham/><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>VR History by Andrew Waugh</ref>

In 2014, the station underwent minor upgrades as part of the Regional Rail Link (RRL) project. The biggest of those was the further extension of the bridge over Ashley Street, to accommodate the new RRL tracks. The façade facing Sunshine Road was also upgraded, and a new car park and "park and ride" facilities were added. A power substation was also built on Sunshine Road, just beyond the car park.

White City station used to be located between Tottenham and Sunshine. On 4 October 1981, White City was closed to all traffic and demolished.<ref name="newsrailnov81">Template:Cite magazine</ref>
