Italy

Sunshine railway station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne and V/Line on the Sunbury, Geelong and Ballarat lines, serving the western suburb of the same name in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The station opened on 7 September 1885, with the current buildings opening in 2014, a

fter reconstruction as part of the Regional Rail Link project. Originally named Braybrook Junction, it was given its current name in July 1907 when the suburb of Sunshine took its name from the recently opened Sunshine Harvester Works. V/Line services on the Bendigo corridor pass through the station but do not stop there. Freight services running towards northern Victoria and Sydney run past the station, as well as freight trains heading for the western standard gauge line via the Newport–Sunshine railway line. The bus interchange at the station is a hub for a large number of routes to surrounding suburbs. It is planned that the station will receive a significant upgrade as part of the Melbourne Airport Rail project, with work scheduled to commence in early 2026.
