Seddon station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Werribee and Williamstown lines, which are part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the western suburb of the same name, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The station opened on 10 December 1906, and the current station buildings date from 1981.[1]

History

Seddon station, like the suburb itself, was named after Richard John Seddon, who had worked at the Newport railway workshops, was a corporal in the artillery at Williamstown, and was Prime Minister of New Zealand between 1893 and 1906.[2][3]

The station opened as a double line block post with a signal box for the control of trains, in the section from Footscray to Yarraville. The block post closed in 1912, but automatic signalling was not provided on the section until 1927.[4]

In 1972, both platforms were extended.[5] In 1980, the former timber buildings were demolished,[6] and were replaced with the current station buildings.[7]

Platforms and services

Seddon has two side platforms and is served by Werribee and Williamstown line trains.[8][9]
