The original Epsom station opened on 19 September 1864 as Epsom and Huntly. It was renamed Epsom Siding on 22 May 1882, and was renamed Epsom on 1 October 1889. 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.
In April 2014, the Victorian Government announced that a new Epsom station would be constructed. It is serviced six times on weekdays, by extending some services that formerly terminated at Bendigo.
