Talbot railway station is a regional railway station on the Mildura line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the town of Talbot, in Victoria, Australia. Talbot station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. It opened on 2 February 1875, with the current station provided in 2013. It initially closed on 12 September 1993, then reopened on 22 December 2013.[1]
The station closed on 12 September 1993, when The Vinelander service to Mildura was withdrawn and replaced by road coaches. When rail passenger services from Ballarat to Maryborough resumed in July 2010, Talbot station was not reopened. In February 2010, the crossing loop and siding were abolished.[2]
In November 2010, the State Government announced the station would reopen, and that occurred on 22 December 2013.[3][4][5] A new platform and shelter were built as part of the reopening, as the original station was and currently still is now used as a nursery and railway museum.
In 2016-2017, the station was one of the least-patronised in Victoria, with annual passenger movements of 1,121, or about 3.07 passengers a day.[6] In 2020-2021, the station recorded the second-lowest patronage in the state with 350 passenger movements - less than one passenger a day.[7]
