Kyneton railway station is located on the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Kyneton, and opened on 25 April 1862. [2] [3]

Contents

The station is served by V/Line Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill line trains, with some peak-hour services to and from Melbourne terminating here.

Between 1977 and 1979, the Kyneton Provender Coy Siding and Watson's Siding were both abolished. [2] [3]

In August 1990, a number of sidings, crossovers, signal posts and the goods shed and goods platform track were all abolished. [2] [3] [4]

The station was upgraded as part of the Regional Fast Rail project in 2005, with the platforms re-aligned, the manual interlocking frame and level crossing gates decommissioned, and remote-controlled computer-based signalling provided. Also as part of the project, the double-track line between Kyneton and Bendigo was singled. [2] [5]

The disused Carlsruhe railway station is located between Kyneton and Woodend. A demolished station was located at Redesdale Junction, between Kyneton and Malmsbury.
