History

Pascoe Vale station opened on 10 November 1885, with the railway line past the site of the station originally opening in 1872, as part of the North East line to School House Lane. [5] The station, like the suburb itself, was named after Pascoeville, a property owned by John Pascoe Fawkner, one of the founders of Melbourne. [6] [7]

The original station building, provided on Platform 1 in 1886, has since been replaced. In 1929, a signal box was provided, which controlled interlocked gates at the Gaffney Street level crossing, [8] until they were replaced with boom barriers in 1965. [4] [9]
