The station has two side platforms, with the main brick station building on platform 2 on the western side, linked by a pedestrian subway at the Melbourne end.Platforms and servicesThe station is served by V/Line trains on the Seymour line, with no long distance trains to Shepparton and Albury stopping at the station.Platform 1: Seymour and Shepparton lines - intercity services to Southern Cross Platform 2: Seymour and Shepparton lines - intercity services to Kilmore East, Seymour and SheppartonHistoryThe station was opened in 1872 along with the line though it, and became a junction for the branch line to Yea in 1883, the line being extended towards Mansfield and Alexandra in later years. A turntable was added when the station became a junction, and the main line was duplicated from Broadford in the same year, the double track being extended north in 1886. The first interlocked signal box was erected in 1885, controlling three platforms and a four road yard. The crossovers for the branch line initially faced Seymour, requiring Melbourne-bound trains to reverse; a Melbourne-facing crossover was added in 1911.
