History
Sunbury station opened on 10 February 1859, as a terminus, with the line not extended north for two more years. The three track yard dates back from this time, and was unique in Victoria. There was a large goods shed on its southern side, a large silo on its northern side, as well as sheep/cattle ramp and yards. There was also housing for railway staff, including two houses in Horne Street, and the Station Master's house in Brook Street, all demolished in the 1980s.

Proper interlocking of the signals and point work did not exist until 1981, and the station was not fully interlocked until 1998, when a Solid State Interlocking was provided. The layout of the station was again altered, as part of the Regional Fast Rail project, in 2005.

On 18 November 2012, the station was added to the metropolitan network, when the line from Watergardens was electrified. The station was also upgraded, as part of these works. Electrification to Sunbury was first proposed in the 1970s, along with a new station north of the township, along the Sunbury bank, north of the Jackson Creek bridge, to serve the Goonawarra housing estate. However, after a drop in population estimates, the idea was abandoned.
