History

Closed	1 November 1970

Manor is a closed station which was located about halfway between Werribee and Little River stations on the Geelong railway line in Victoria, Australia.

A signal box was opened at the site in February 1911, controlling a new crossing loop on the single line between Werribee and Little River.^[1] Passenger and goods facilities were provided in 1914.^[1] At the start of the 1920s the Victorian Railways opened a bluestone quarry 1.5 kilometres south of the station, to provide track ballast. The quarry was served by a long siding leading from station yard.^[1] The quarry probably ceased operating in the 1930s.

Manor was closed in November 1970 when the line between Werribee and Little River was duplicated, making the crossing loop redundant.^[1] The buildings and platform were demolished shortly afterwards.

A crossing loop with the same name, located slightly to the north of the station site, was provided on the parallel Western standard gauge line when it opened in 1995.
