Morradoo railway station is located on the Stony Point line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Crib Point, and opened on 7 November 1960 as Rail Motor Stopping Place No. 15. It was renamed Morradoo in 1996.[1]
By November 1963, an 80feet platform was provided at the stopping place.[1] In December 1973, flashing light signals were provided at the Disney Road level crossing, located at the up end of the station.[2] [3]
On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[1] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began[4] and, on 27 September of that year, the rail passenger service was reinstated.[1]
In 1996, the platform was extended to 52 metres in length,[1] and a new passenger shelter was erected. That made the platform the second-shortest with a regular service in Victoria (the shortest being at Leawarra, also on the same line). In that same year, the station was renamed as the result of a local competition,[1] with the winning entry being Morradoo, suggested by Bree Saunders of Crib Point Primary School. Morradoo comes from an Indigenous word meaning "powder and shot", and was the original name for Crib Point.[5]
In 2011, boom barriers were provided at the Disney Road level crossing.[6] [7]
Morradoo has one platform. It is served by Stony Point line trains.[8]
