Aircraft railway station is located on the Werribee line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Laverton opening on 7 March 1925 as Aviation Siding, being renamed Aircraft Siding on 10 May 1927 and Aircraft on 19 March 1963.〔(Aircraft ) Vicsig〕〔(Aircraft Station ) Rail Geelong〕 The station was built to serve the former Royal Australian Air Force Laverton base. The Western standard gauge line passes behind Platform 1. The present station was built in 1964 and in association with the duplication of the line to Werribee converted to an island platform in 1968.〔 Doubt was cast on the future of Aircraft station with the announcement that Wiliams Landing station would be built just a kilometre along the line.〔(Aircraft station flies on ) ''Hobsons Bay Leader'' 7 Sepyember 2010〕 In June 2010 a spokesman for then public transport minister Martin Pakula said only that Aircraft would remain open until 2012, the opening date of Williams Landing station. At the same time the construction of 100 new car parking spaces was cancelled, and railway sources confirmed that the government's plans were to close Aircraft station. However, in September 2010 the public transport minister ended speculation by pledging that the station would not be closed. ==Platforms & services== Aircraft has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Werribee line services.〔(Werribee Line timetable ) Public Transport Victoria〕 Platform 1: *Werribee line: all stations services to Flinders Street Platform 2: *Werribee line: all stations and limited stops services to Werribee 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aircraft railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
