History
Closed 4 October 1981

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]

Since around 1990 the Melbourne bound station building has been leased by a local radio station, 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 replacement of weatherboards.[2]
