West Footscray railway station
West Footscray railway station is located on the Sunbury line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of West Footscray, and it opened on 1 October 1888 as Footscray West. It was renamed West Footscray on 1 September 1912.Two dual gauge tracks operate north of the station, forming the South Kensington – West Footscray freight line, linking the Port of Melbourne and other freight terminals to the rest of the state. The tracks also form part of the Melbourne – Sydney and Melbourne – Adelaide standard gauge lines. The Regional Rail Link lines operate to the south of the station. In 1976, the original station buildings were demolished, and replaced with brick structures. In 2013, the station was rebuilt 200 metres further west, to accommodate two lines to the south as part of the Regional Rail Link project. On 14 October of that year, the new station opened, with the old station demolished soon after.A third platform has been built to the north of the existing island platform, as part of the Metro Tunnel project, to allow services to terminate and return. In late 2018, work commenced and, on 6 July 2020, the platform opened.
