In this video we see some trains at Footscray, a major station in Melbourne's western suburbs serving as the junction for the Sunbury and Werribee/Williamstown lines as well as V/Line trains on the Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong lines. The station at Footscray is very modern; having undergone a major upgrade as part of the Regional Rail Link project, which saw the construction of two new platforms, an extended footbridge, accessibility upgrades, extra seating and shelters and refurbishment of the existing heritage buildings. The upgrades were completed in 2014.
Footscray is the seventh busiest station in Melbourne with over 3.7 million passenger movements in 2013/14. The station serves the bustling Footscray CBD area which includes various shops, markets and cafe's, and Victoria University's Footscray Nicholson campus. It also serves as a major tram and bus interchange in the region; offering connections to Victoria University's Footscray Park campus, Highpoint Shopping Centre and other surrounding suburbs.
We start the video from platforms 2 & 3 where we see a variety of Metro Siemens, Comeng and X'trapolis EMU's and a number of V/Line DMU's. The city end of platform 3 gives a great view of the Regional Rail Link and the Werribee/Williamstown line tracks. We then head down to the down end of platform 4 where we see some Sunbury line trains and other V/Line trains arrive and depart the station. We then head off to platforms 5 & 6 where we see some Werribee and Williamstown line trains.
