Middle Footscray is a railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia located in the suburb of Footscray, on the Sydenham railway line. It is in Metcard Zone 1.

Middle Footscray station is unmanned. The station consists of two platforms, in an island format. The island platform contains a large brick building. Due to being one of the most isolated stations on the network, a small Metcard ticket machine is located at the entrance to the island platform, which dispenses only selected ticketing options.

The station is located at the western end of the Victoria Street road underpass, and is accessed from a subway from the same road.

Two dual gauge tracks run beside the station forming the South Kensington - West Footscray goods lines, linking the Port of Melbourne and other freight terminals to the rest of the state. The tracks also form part of the Melbourne to Sydney standard gauge line.

[edit] History

Middle Footscray Station opened on 10 December 1906.
