What is changing
The station is still the end of the line. On 8 October 2026 the mayors of Wyndham and Greater Geelong asked for a trial of two Warrnambool services a day stopping here. The state government has said it has no plans to do it. A trial of existing long-distance trains would not be the extension, and it is not funded.
Location and access
Suburb: Werribee
Metro’s address for the station is Manly Street, Werribee 3030.
Services and interchanges
Lines in this directory: Werribee Line
Werribee line trains originate and terminate here. From the city end of the line they run through to Sandringham, which the October 2026 Newport update describes. Wikipedia dates the start of that through-running to 23 August 2026. It does not add a platform beyond this station.
Geelong and Warrnambool trains do not stop. The standard-gauge line between Melbourne and Adelaide passes to the north of platform 1. It is not a passenger platform here.

The station has three platforms, an island and one side platform. The present station was provided in 1983. Access from the street includes a steep ramp, which Metro says may need assisted access.
Projects affecting the station
The extension past Werribee is the project recorded here, and it was never built. No cost or year is attached to it. The October 2026 request is for a trial of Warrnambool trains on tracks that still exist, not for that extension.
Station precinct
The station sits at the end of the electrified line, with the standard-gauge track passing to the north of platform 1. That track is the interstate line. It is not a second metropolitan platform, and it is not a plan for a new concourse.
History
The station opened on 25 June 1857, on the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company’s line. The present station dates from 1983, the year electrification reached Werribee. In 2015 the Regional Rail Link took Geelong trains off this corridor and onto tracks through Wyndham Vale. Direct passenger trains between Werribee and Geelong stopped then. Those dates are from Wikipedia’s account of the station and of the line.
Recent verified changes
- 8 October 2026. The mayors of Wyndham and Greater Geelong asked the Premier for a trial of two Warrnambool services a day stopping at Werribee. The state government has said it has no plans to run it. The station remains the terminus.
