South Kensington railway station is located on the Werribee and Williamstown lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the inner north-western Melbourne suburb of Kensington, and it opened on 11 March 1891. Private sidings that were formerly provided around South Kensington have now all closed. This included one to a large wool store to the north east (now demolished), one to a warehouse and silos to the east (open but no longer served by rail), and two sidings to the north serving the Melbourne City Council abattoirs and Kenstore, a military warehouse complex that opened during World War II.

  • South Kensington railway station is located on the Werribee and Williamstown lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the inner north-western Melbourne suburb of Kensington, and it opened on 11 March 1891. Freight lines run to the south of the station. The closest of these lines are used by V/Line to reverse empty trains from Traralgon and Bairnsdale services, while the ones further south are used by a variety of standard gauge freight operators. The lines to the east join Melbourne Yard, while those to the west are the South Kensington–West Footscray set of lines that lead to either South Dynon or West Footscray, via the Bunbury Street tunnel. Private sidings that were formerly provided around South Kensington have now all closed. This included one to a large wool store to the north east (now demolished), one to a warehouse and silos to the east (open but no longer served by rail), and two sidings to the north serving the Melbourne City Council abattoirs and Kenstore, a military warehouse complex that opened during World War II. In 1972, the platforms were extended at the Down end of the station. In 1975, the present platform shelters were provided, when the station received an upgrade due to the quadruplication of the line to Footscray. The disused station office, located near the entrance to the underpass on Childers Street, was also provided around this time. On 1 July of that year, parcel facilities at the station were abolished. The following year, in November 1976, the quadruplicated line between South Kensington and Footscray was provided. The current configuration of the station dates from 2014, as part of the Regional Rail Link project. The goods-only tracks immediately to the south of the station were replaced by a pair of tracks used by regional passenger services going to and from Southern Cross station. The signal box, formerly located at the Up end of the Down platform (Platform 2), was also demolished to make way for the new tracks. A mural outside the station on Childers Street was funded by the City to Maribyrnong River arm of the project, however it has since been painted over. In 2020, South Kensington was ranked as the worst railway station in Victoria, in a survey conducted by the RACV. (en)
