Huntly and Raywood Stations: Trains now arriving

Vic Department of Transport

The growing communities of Huntly and Raywood have been reconnected to the regional rail network with the opening of their new stations.

The first train arrived at Huntly Station on Saturday morning after a 68-year absence, while trains returned to Raywood on Sunday morning for the first time in more than 40 years.

They re-joined Goornong on the rail network, which opened in December 2021 after almost 43 years without services.

Community celebrations will be held in the coming weeks to mark the opening of the new stations, which were delivered ahead of schedule as part of Bendigo Metro 3.

As part of a revised timetable, 18 services a week will now stop at Huntly Station on the Echuca Line and 28 services a week will stop at Raywood Station on the Swan Hill Line.

Finishing touches completed at Huntly and Raywood in the past month include installing platform handrails and fencing, line-marking, landscaping, and site clean-up works.

Timetables for the new stations are now available at vline.com.au, ptv.vic.gov.au and the PTV journey planner app.
