Kananook station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Frankston line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Seaford, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was opened on 25 August 1975, with the current station building provided in 2007.[1]

History

Kananook station is named after the nearby Kananook Creek. In March 1974, to allow for the building of the station, the existing up and down lines were slewed.[2] At the same time, the Klauer Street overpass, at the up end of the station, was provided, replacing the Wells Road level crossing.[3]

In 1991, parts of the station were upgraded, including the pedestrian overpass and car park.[4]

The station was featured in the first episode of the television series Sensing Murder, which aired on Network Ten in September 2004.

In 2007, upgrades to the station were carried out, as part of the EastLink road project, which linked Ringwood to Frankston.[5][6] The original station building, of fibro construction, was at the centre of the station, with two semi-enclosed waiting areas on the platforms and a disused booking office near the station entrance. The building was demolished and replaced with a shelter, and a noise-protection wall was constructed.

To the north of the station is the Kananook Train Storage Facility, which was opened in May 2020.[7][8]
