Malmsbury railway station is a regional railway station on the Deniliquin line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the north-western suburb and town of Malmsbury, in Victoria, Australia. Malmsbury station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring a single platform and a disused platform. It opened on 21 October 1862. Disused stations at Taradale and Elphinstone are located between Malmsbury and Castlemaine. Chewton station, which has been demolished, was also located between Malmsbury and Castlemaine, while the former Redesdale Junction was located between Malmsbury and Kyneton.
History
In 1968, a carriage dock and a number of sidings were removed. Further sidings were removed in 1978. A large bluestone station building remains on the disused northern platform, and a collection of shelter sheds on the southern platform. As part of the Regional Fast Rail project in 2006, the double-track line from Kyneton to Bendigo was converted to single track, with the track on the former Melbourne-bound platform removed. On 31 January 2024, the station building on the disused northern platform was damaged by fire. The fire brigade managed to confine the blaze to the former station office and signal bay. Police charged two teenagers from Bendigo with arson.
