TRANSCRIPT
We’re upgrading Waurn Ponds Station as part of the Geelong Line Upgrade.
A new platform and extra track at Waurn Ponds Station will create enough space for trains to pass each other, allowing more Geelong services to be extended to and from Waurn Ponds and helping to improve service reliability.
Station users will have more than 90 new car parking spaces and an accessible overpass between platforms.

The Waurn Ponds Station upgrade includes:• A second platform on the south side of the station with
shelters and seating.• A new pedestrian overpass to provide access between
the two platforms featuring lifts, ramps and stairs.• New secure bicycle storage and bicycle hoops. • Car park improvements including: - more than 90 new car parking spaces - formalising 120 existing unsealed car parking spaces - more accessible car parking spaces - new drop-off zone - new access points at both ends of the station car park.• Additional CCTV, lighting, myki machines and passenger
information displays. • Track duplication to enable trains to pass each other.
The Victorian Government has spoken with Waurn Ponds passengers as part of consultation for the business case for the future track duplication between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds, and the station design incorporates much of this feedback, including more car parking and platform shelters, and better passenger facilities.
