History
Werribee Station opened on 25 June 1857. In May 1927 the station building was heavily damaged by fire. As part of the rebuilding, a new, low-pitched roof was provided, and the surviving bluestone walls were cement rendered. The line from Newport to Werribee was electrified in November 1983, and Werribee was upgraded to a Premium Station in 1997.
Werribee Racecourse station and Manor station are currently not in use and are located between Werribee and Little River.
