History

Pascoe Vale station opened along with the railway line past the site of the station, as part of the North East line to School House Lane.[6] The station, like the suburb itself, was named after Pascoeville, a property owned by John Pascoe Fawkner, one of the founders of the city of Melbourne.[7][8]

The original station building, erected on Platform 1 in 1886, was replaced in the 1970s. In 1929, a signal box was provided, which controlled interlocked gates at the Gaffney Street level crossing,[9] until they were replaced with boom barriers in 1965.[5][10]
