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.
