History

The last Victorian Railways service to stop at Nhill was the Dimboola to Serviceton service that ceased on 1 December 1978.[2] In March 2007 The Overland began stopping at the station.[3]

Much of the station was extensively altered in the 1980s, following the introduction of CTC between Ararat and Serviceton.[4]
