Morwell railway station is a regional railway station on the Gippsland line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the town of Morwell, in Victoria, Australia. Morwell station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 1 June 1877.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Gippsland line upgrades a second platform was constructed but not connected to the network until recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As at July 2025, the down end points of the loop serving the new second platform at Morwell<\/a> have been installed.<\/p>\n\n\n

No further obstacles exist in bringing into service the second platform and with it the anticipated increase in Traralgon<\/a> line V\/Line<\/a> services from one train every hour to one train every 40 min.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do believe there will be a requirement for signalling of the loop which from the photo does not exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
