Stawell railway station
Stawell railway station is located on the Western standard gauge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Stawell opening in 1877. It was the temporary terminus of the line from Ararat, until 17 December 1878 when the line was extended to Murtoa.〔(Stawell ) Vicsig〕
==History==
The station was first built in 1877 following the extension of the Serviceton line from Ararat. The Ararat to Stawell railway line was first approved by the Victorian Government by Act No. 475 which passed into law on 25 November 1873. In 1876 the Ararat to Stawell line was completed and a temporary station was set up just south of the town. This was named Wild Cat and was only used until the completion of the current station.
The station was served by V/Line Dimboola services until these were withdrawn on 21 August 1993. After passenger services ceased the Stawell and District Cultural Associated was formed. In March 1995 the association was granted use of the station, with an art gallery opened.
For a number of years after the discontinuation of the Dimboola service, local residents called for ''The Overland'' to make an additional stop at Stawell. When it was announced that ''The Overland'' would additionally call at Nhill in 2007, Stawell despite representations made, was not added.〔(Overland bypasses Stawell station ) ''Stawell Times'' 23 January 2007〕 This was redressed and in April 2011 ''The Overland'' commenced stopping at Stawell with 60 seats available.〔(Trains return to Stawell ) Premier of Victoria 10 April 2011〕 A $710,000 upgrade was carried out to the station in preparation for the return of train services.〔(All Aboard: Train Services to Return to Stawell ) Minister for Public Transport 14 October 2010〕
