Golden Square railway station was located on the Bendigo line. It served the southern Bendigo suburb of Golden Square. The station closed to passenger traffic on 4 October 1981, as part of the New Deal timetable for country passengers.[1]
In September 1987, the signal box and all signals were abolished, except for one post, and the station was disestablished as a block post. All points were spiked normal, and were removed at a later date.[2]
Since around 1990, the station building Melbourne-bound side has been leased by a community radio station, KLFM,[3] while the smaller down-side building has been leased in the past. In April 2008, renovations were carried out to the down-side building, including re-stumping and the replacement of weatherboards.[4]
