Gisborne railway station is located on the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the towns of New Gisborne and Gisborne, and it opened on 8 July 1861.[1][2]

In 1910, the station became a block post for all trains on the line.[1][2] In 1922, an interlocking frame was provided in the station building on Platform 1.[1][2][3]

By 1990, siding "B" and the track that passed through the former goods shed were abolished.[2] In 1994, the connection between siding "A" and a crossover, that was located at the Up end of the station, was removed.[1][2] In 1996, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the Station Road level crossing, located at the Down end of the station.[2] The Up end crossover was also removed by that year.[2]

On 17 January 2005, the interlocking frame was abolished.[3] In March 2014, the platforms were extended to accommodate longer trains.

Platforms and services[]

Gisborne has two side platforms. During the morning peak, trains to Melbourne depart from Platform 2, and trains to Bendigo depart from Platform 1, with this arrangement reversing after 9:00 am. 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.

It is serviced by V/Line Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill line services.[4][5][6]
