Gisborne railway station is a regional railway station on the Deiliquin line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the north-western suburb and town of New Gisborne, in Victoria, Australia. Gisborne station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 8 July 1861.[2][3]
By 1990, siding "B" and the track that passed through the former goods shed were abolished.[3] In 1994, the connection between siding "A" and a crossover, that was located at the up end of the station, was removed.[2][3] In 1996, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the Station Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station.[3] The up end crossover was also removed by that year.[3] In 2000, the goods shed was destroyed by fire.[6]
On 17 January 2005, the interlocking frame was abolished.[5] In March 2014, the platforms were extended to accommodate longer trains.
Platforms and services
Gisborne has two side platforms. During the morning peak, services to Southern Cross depart from Platform 2, and services to Bendigo depart from Platform 1, with this arrangement reversing after 9:00am. This is to allow services in the peak direction of travel to use the single 160 km/h track that was upgraded in 2006, as part of the Regional Fast Rail project.
