Seddon railway station is a commuter railway station on the Werribee and Williamstown lines, which are part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the western suburb of Seddon, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Seddon station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 10 December 1906, with the current station provided in 1981.[1]
Opening on 10 December 1906, Seddon station, like the suburb itself, was named after Richard John Seddon, who was a worker at the Newport Workshops, a corporal in the artillery at Williamstown, and was Prime Minister of New Zealand between 1893-1906.[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 and,[6] in 1981, were replaced with the current station buildings.[7]
Seddon has two side platforms. It is served by Werribee and Williamstown line trains.[8] [9]
