Footscray railway station is at the junction of the Sunbury, Werribee and Williamstown lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Footscray. The first Footscray station, not on the current site, opened on 17 January 1859.[4][5][better source needed] The existing station opened on 16 September 1900.[6]
The station is also served by V/Line Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong trains.
A disused signal box is located on the island platform at the up (Flinders Street) end of Platform 5. A pair of dual gauge tracks for the mostly freight-only South Kensington–West Footscray line run in a cutting under the station before entering the Bunbury Street tunnel,[7] providing a rail link to the Port of Melbourne and other freight terminals, as well as access to Southern Cross station for the NSW TrainLink XPT, The Overland, and V/Line Albury passenger services.
