Watergardens railway station is located on the Sunbury line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Sydenham opening on 1 March 1859 as Keilor Road, being renamed Sydenham on an April 1887 and Watergardens on 27 January 2002.[1] It is also served by V/Line Bendigo and Swan Hill services.
North of the station are sidings for stabling trains.
Interlock gates and wickets were provided at the Melton Highway level crossing in 1926, and replaced with boom barriers in 1987.[2]
As part of the extension of the electrified network from St Albans, the station was relocated eastwards in 2002 and renamed Watergardens. The new station was to be named Sydenham, which name was built into the brickwork of the station building. However, naming rights were sold to the adjacent Watergardens Town Centre, so the station was renamed.
