Kananook station is named after the nearby
Kananook Creek. In March 1974, to allow for the building of the station, the existing
up and down lines were slewed. At the same time, the Klauer Street
overpass, at the up end of the station, was provided, replacing the Wells Road
level crossing. In 1991, parts of the station were upgraded, including the
pedestrian overpass and
car park. The station was featured in the first episode of the television series
Sensing Murder, which aired on
Network Ten in September 2004. In 2007, upgrades to the station were carried out, as part of the
EastLink road project, which linked
Ringwood to
Frankston. The original station building, of
fibro construction, was at the centre of the station, with two semi-enclosed waiting areas on the platforms and a disused booking office near the station entrance. The building was demolished and replaced with a shelter, and a noise-protection wall was constructed. To the north of the station is the Kananook Train Storage Facility, which was opened in May 2020. ==Platforms and services==
