Williams Landing railway station is located on the Werribee line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Williams Landing opening on 28 April 2013.[1][2][3] The Western standard gauge line passes to the north of Platform 1. Construction required the slewing of the existing southern track to make room for the new platform.[4]

History

In 2008 the State Government announced the station in the Victorian Transport Plan. Construction was originally intended to commence during 2010,[4][5] but eventually started in September 2011,[6] with the station opened on 28 April 2013.[7][8]

The cost of the station in 2011 was budgeted at $86 million for the station and $24 million for associated road works including a bridge over the line.[9] The cost was criticised by the Public Transport Users Association of Victoria as too high.[10]
