The original Epsom station opened on 19 September 1864 as Epsom and Huntly.[2] It was renamed Epsom Siding on 22 May 1882, and was renamed Epsom on 1 October 1889.[2] On 26 October 1903, it opened for passengers, and it closed on 16 March 1970, with the platform removed by 24 November of that year.[2]
In April 2014, the Victorian Government announced that a new Epsom station would be constructed.[4][5] It is serviced six times on weekdays, by extending some services that formerly terminated at Bendigo.[6]
