Location

Laverton station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Werribee line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network, and serves the south-western suburb of the same name in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was opened on 1 July 1886, and the current station buildings were provided in 2010.

At the up end of the station, the tracks diverge. Werribee-bound services take the direct double track route to Newport, while all-stations Altona services operate on the single track Altona loop line to Newport. The loop line reconnects with the direct route just north of the former Paisley railway station.

The Western standard gauge line passes to the north of Platform 1.
