Typical country town train station, has all the necessary requirements - train tracks, local bus…read morestop, platform etc. there is only one platform so very difficult to get on the wrong train.... Actual I would go further and nearly impossible given there came only be one train at the platform at any one time. Connecting buses to other towns/cities stop right out the front of the station and there is a local bus stop on the station side of the street. The car park is a reasonable size but gets full quite quick when the train comes in with people waiting to pick up weary travellers. There are covered seating out the front of the station ready for those who need to wait to be picked up. Taxis can be found in the station rank with the arrival of each bus and train. A timetable for services from the station can be found near the entrance on the outside, accessible even if the station is closed. In side there is a desk where very helpful staff can be found to help you with your tickets or enquiry. There is some seating inside for those hot/rainy/cold days along with a vending machine with all the usual snack suspects and public toilets. A walkable distance into the centre of town.

Great staff, great service, left my wallet at the bottom of my bag and the train was about to leave…read moreand the station hand let me board and I had a local attend and pay for the fare. I admit they knew me from my regular commute but common sense prevailed. I say keep manned railaway stations for such personal service. Toilest are clean, an adequate waiting area, love to see a Barrista attend for the morning peak service at 5.15am and 6.30am ie a van hint hint Mr/Mrs Station Master..... as no coffee at that hour for 2hrs 30 mins is hard on the addiction.

So, this station is sort of half-way between Sydney and Melbourne (or it could be Wagga, but that…read moreis another story). Anyway, it acts as the terminus for the V-Line from Melbourne, and is also a major stop for the XPT that travels between Sydney and Melbourne. The interesting thing was that apparently they only sell tickets here during set times, but they were open when I arrived, despite the fact that the sign said otherwise. It's a pretty nice station, and has been kept in good order, especially the waiting room. I certainly quite like it.

Not only is this quite a large station, but it is also located in the centre of town, which is…read morequite convenient, particularly if you are coming from elsewhere (which is one of the reasons that you would be using this station). It is also quite an old station, which I do quite appreciate, clearly being the style of station that I like. The other thing is that trains do regularly come through here, either terminating, or passing through, which makes it pretty convenient.

Great country station, you can book Travellers Aid bus transit to take your older folks or luggage…read moreon a golf cart to the connecting regional buses. A fantastic interchange station with great staff and plenty of connecting trains to Melbourne.
