Werribee railway station

Werribee railway station is located on the Werribee line and the Warrnambool line in Victoria, Australia, and serves the western Melbourne suburb of Werribee. It opened on 25 June 1857, by the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company, as part of the railway line between the two cities. It currently serves as the terminus of the suburban electrified Werribee line.

The Western standard gauge line, which runs between Melbourne and Adelaide, passes to the north of Platform 1.

History
Werribee station 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 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.

The line from Newport to Werribee was electrified in November 1983, with the current island platform and underpass also built around the same time. It was upgraded to a Premium station in 1997.
