Werribee railway station is a commuter railway station and the terminus of the Werribee line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the western suburb of Werribee, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Werribee station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 25 June 1857, with the current station provided in 1983.
The Western standard gauge line, which operates between Melbourne and Adelaide, passes to the north of Platform 1.
History
Werribee station opened on 25 June 1857 by the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company, as part of the railway line between those two cities. It was designed by Frederick Kawerau, in partnership with Edward Snell, the engineer for the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company. In May 1927, the station building was heavily damaged by fire. As part of the rebuilding, a new, low-pitched roof was provided, and the surviving bluestone walls were cement rendered. A stone plaque, embossed with "G.&M.R. 1857", was once located on the south gable, but was lost after the fire. It has since been found, and has been built into the wall of the former Victorian Railways printing works in Laurens Street, North Melbourne.
In 1963, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the former Cherry Street level crossing, which was located at the up end of the station. In 1968, the line between Werribee and Laverton was duplicated, with duplication to Little River occurring in 1970.
In 1973, all interlocking at the station was abolished, with a signal panel provided. In 1976, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the former Werribee Street level crossing, which was located nearby in the down direction of the station. On 11 October 1979, a Seymour-Geelong goods train derailed at the station, causing extensive damage to both platforms and the station building on Platform 2 (now Platform 3).
In April 1983, the current island platform and underpass was provided. In November of that year, the line from Newport to Werribee was electrified. In 1987, sidings "B", "E" and "F" were abolished.
In 1997, Werribee was upgraded to a premium station.
On 27 June 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Cherry Street level crossing will be grade separated, with a road overpass built approximately 1 km east of the station, connecting Tarneit Road with the Princes Highway. Construction began in February 2020 and, on 11 March 2021, the overpass was opened to traffic. The Cherry Street level crossing was closed to traffic on the same day, and was replaced with a pedestrian and cyclist underpass, which opened on 1 April of that year.
As part of stage 1 of the Western Rail Plan's Geelong Fast Rail project, Werribee is scheduled to be upgraded. Construction is set to begin in 2023.
