Overview map.

This is a list of former railway stations and railway lines in Victoria, Australia. Many of these stations and lines have been abandoned or demolished. For closed railway stations in suburban Melbourne, see List of closed railway stations in Melbourne.

This transport-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Passenger lines proposed for reopening [edit]

The Mildura line, whilst closed to passenger rail services at present has seen State Government proposals for their reintroduction. The line is currently open to freight; while an upgrade to the line was announced in 2006, this is limited to improving the current 40 km/h (25 mph) maximum speed on many sections,^[1] and is not relevant to any hopes that a passenger train service might recommence.

In December 2008 as part of the Victorian Transport Plan the state government announced that Maryborough station would see 14 V/Line passenger rail services extended to the station every week, commencing 2010 at a cost of $50 million.^[2]

There was originally a planned upgrade to a fourth line the Leongatha line in South Gippsland. This plan was dropped in May 2008 after progress had stalled for some years.^[3]^[4] A tourist line, the South Gippsland Tourist Railway, continues to operate along a section of the line.

Mildura line [edit]
