Officer railway station is located on the Pakenham line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Officer, and it opened on 4 August 1881 as Officer's Siding. It was renamed Officer on 13 February 1888. [4]
Officer station opened on 4 August 1881, almost four years after the railway line was extended from Dandenong to Pakenham. [5] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Robert Officer, a local pastoralist. [6] Another theory is that the station and suburb were named after the Officer family, who were originally from Deniliquin, New South Wales. [7]
In 1955, the line between Officer and Pakenham was duplicated [5] and, on 13 May 1956, duplication between Officer and Berwick was provided. In that year, a new station was also provided east of the original site. [5]
In 1976, flashing light signals were provided at the Station Street/Officer South Road level crossing, located nearby in the up direction of the station. [8] A decade later, in 1986, boom barriers were provided. [9] [10]
On 8 May 1987, a collision involving a Flinders Street-bound Comeng train set and V/Line locomotive N457, operating an up Traralgon service, occurred in the down direction of the station. [11] [12] 45 people were injured in the collision. [11] [12] Comeng carriage 388M was later scrapped due to the collision, however, part of the carriage was later used as a café in the pedestrian underpass at Werribee. [13]
In 1988, the former goods siding was taken out of service. [14] The main line points leading into the siding were spiked, and were removed at a later date. [14]
Sometime during or after 1995, the present station shelters were provided, replacing timber station buildings. [15] [16]
During the 2011/2012 financial year, it was the second least used station on Melbourne's metropolitan system, with 55,000 passenger movements. [17]
On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Station Street/Officer South Road level crossing will be closed to vehicle traffic by 2025, and is to be replaced with a pedestrian crossing. [18] [19]
Officer has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham line services. [20]
