Horsham railway station is located on the Western standard gauge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Horsham.[1]
History
The station was officially opened on 5 February 1879 by Governor of Victoria George Bowen along with the opening of the new railway line.[2] The station celebrated its centenary on 5 February 1979.[3]
The station was served by V/Line Dimboola services until these were withdrawn on 21 August 1993.[4]
In April 2007 the station was upgraded at a total cost of $490,000.[5] However, only a small section of the platform was resurfaced which has resulted in passengers having to move up or down the train to access the platform.
