[edit] Facilities
The station consists of two platforms in an island format. The island platform contains a large weatherboard building with an enclosed waiting room and a ticket office inside. Gowrie is one of the few stations on the Melbourne rail network that does not have a large Metcard machine, as it was moved to Keilor Plains station in January 2002[1].
Both platforms can be accessed via Sages Road and Wells Court.
[edit] History
Gowrie station originally opened on 16 October 1928 as Rail Motor Stopping Place 21. It was later renamed to Gowrie in 1965. Until 1991, every second train terminated here.
