History

On 9 October 2010, construction of the station officially commenced, when the then Minister for Public Transport, Martin Pakula, turned the first sod. [9] Completion was expected in 2011 but, due to the under-budgeting of the electricity connection to the station, the project stalled. [10] [11]

Platform 2:

By June 2025, it is planned that trains on the Cranbourne line will be through-routed to Sunbury, via the new Metro Tunnel.
