History

This station was built in 1920. It was originally named Silicate Siding, and was renamed Taperoo on 22 November 1920.

Originally a step down platform, it was replaced with the current island platform in 1955.

The station was upgraded in 2017 with a new shelter along with new signage and lighting.

gollark: You could say "it's better than nothing", but if you think you can do something it might give you a false sense of confidence and stop you considering safer options.
gollark: Generally, I'm pretty sure *consistently* defending (physically) against armed people when you are *not* armed is not really possible.
gollark: But there's probably a selection effect where people who both have guns and are really stupid about using them soon die/get imprisoned and no longer go around with guns.
