History

Seddon station, like the suburb itself, was named after Richard John Seddon, who had worked at the Newport railway workshops, was a corporal in the artillery at Williamstown, and was Prime Minister of New Zealand between 1893 and 1906.<ref name="vpseddon">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="heraldsun">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The station opened as a double line block post with a signal box for the control of trains, in the section from Footscray to Yarraville. The block post closed in 1912, but automatic signalling was not provided on the section until 1927.<ref name="railgeelongseddon">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 1972, both platforms were extended.<ref name="divisionaldiaryjul72">Template:Cite magazine</ref> In 1980, the former timber buildings were demolished,<ref name="newsrailsep80">Template:Cite magazine</ref> and were replaced with the current station buildings.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
