Pascoe Vale Railway Station, Melbourne, Australia
Pascoe Vale station was opened on November 10, 1885 by the Victorian Government's railway service. Sections of the line had previously been operated by the Melbourne and Essendon Railway Company, but they had folded and their lines were bought by the Government in 1867. The line didn't resume operation until 1871 owing to the amount of maintainence required on the infrastructure.
It is currently operated by Connex Melbourne, and is an unstaffed station.
To bolster security, a safety zone has been painted near the entrance to each platform. It is reputedly safer than most other parts of the platform due to bright lighting and easier access to panic buttons.
