Woodend railway station is located on the Bendigo line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Woodend opening on 8 July 1861.[1]

The station once had extra sidings on the other side of platform 2, as well as a turntable. At the back of the railway station, the original stationmaster's house still stands. It was built in 1897, and at the time the Stationmaster was able to see way down the track from the doorways.

Disused station Carlsruhe is located between Woodend and Kyneton.

Platforms & services

Woodend has two side island platforms. It is serviced by V/Line Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill line services.[2][3][4] In the morning, trains to Melbourne depart from Platform 2, and trains to Bendigo depart from Platform 1, this reverses in the afternoon. This is to allow services in the peak direction of travel to utilise the single 160 km/h track that was upgraded in 2006 as part of the Regional Fast Rail project.
