Marshall Station upgrade

Passengers at Marshall Station can enjoy a more modern and accessible station as part of the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication.

Benefits

A new waiting room was built on the original platform so passengers can wait for their train in comfort.

A second platform and track has been built to improve reliability of services. Trains can now pass each other at the station, which means services can recover faster from unexpected delays.

The upgrades have also increased capacity on the line to allow for future additional services between Marshall and Waurn Pond stations.

A new pedestrian overpass connects both platforms. It features ramps and lifts for people with mobility aids or prams to access either side. There  are entrances on both sides of the station, one for each platform.

Station upgrades

Key features include:

• brand new station building and forecourt on the existing platform
• a new second platform, an accessible pedestrian overpass, improved shelter and better signage
• an enclosed waiting room on the existing platform
• a high-quality architectural and landscape design for the station and public areas
• 270 new car parking spaces, boosting capacity by more than 30%
• lighting and CCTV upgrades to help improve station safety for passengers
• more parkiteers (bike cages) and bicycle hoops
• new cyclist and pedestrian path
• a dedicated bus interchange to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity
• a new main station entry on Drews Road
• a new footpath will connect Marshalltown Road to the new second platform.
