Built as part of the Regional Rail Link project,[2][3] it was officially opened by Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Warren Truss, with services commencing on 21 June 2015.[4]

A turnback siding is located between the two running lines just to the south of the station, used for peak hour terminating services from Melbourne. A stabling yard has also been built to the north of the station, heading towards Melbourne. Construction began in mid-2018, and the sidings were opened in April 2020.[5]

The station will eventually become part of the metropolitan railway network under the Western Rail Plan, announced by the Andrews State Government in 2018.[6]
