History edit

Berwick station opened on 8 October 1877, when the railway line from Dandenong was extended to Pakenham.[4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England, the birthplace of Robert Gardiner, who was an early leaseholder in the area.[5]

In 1956, the line between Berwick and Officer was duplicated, with a signal panel also installed at the station in that year.[4] In 1962, duplication between Berwick and Narre Warren was provided.[4]

In 1970, flashing light signals were provided at the former Clyde Road level crossing, which was located nearby in the up direction of the station.[4] On 12 October 1982, at around 11:15am, Hitachi carriage 137M, leading a Dandenong – Pakenham shuttle service, collided with a semi-trailer at the level crossing. The collision derailed 137M, flipping it on its side. Eleven people were injured in the collision.[6] 137M was later withdrawn due to the collision.[7]

In 1986, boom barriers were provided at the former level crossing.[8][9] During September 1988, the former No. 2 and No. 3 roads were removed.[10] In December of that year, a number of points and signals were abolished.[4]

In 1998, Berwick was upgraded to a premium station.[11]

On 1 December 2018, the signal panel was abolished.[12]

In early 2022, the Clyde Road level crossing was grade separated, as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project.[13] The level crossing was removed by building a road underpass beneath the railway line. The grade separation works also included upgrading the bus interchange at the station.[14] On 21 February of that year, Clyde Road reopened to vehicular traffic.[15]

Platforms and services edit

Berwick has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Pakenham line services, as well as selected V/Line Traralgon services.[16][17]

Platform 2:

By late 2025, it is planned that trains on the Pakenham line will be through-routed with those on the Sunbury line, via the new Metro Tunnel.
