Garvoc Station

Station
Line: Geelong and Warrnambool
Google Maps: Satellite /  Map
Closed: January 30, 1966

Garvoc was located west of Garvoc Station Road, and east of Garvoc - Laang Road. The platform mound is still visible, and the station master's house remains but in private ownership.

The station was made an Electric Staff station in 1911, with up and down home signals provided, the staff locks on the points replaced by plunger locking. Staffing was a Man in Charge. The 1929 track chart of the line showed the platform on the north (up) side of the line, with a three road and goods platform. A short dead end extension was located at the down end.

In 1933 it was disestablished as a staff station, but could open as an Intermediate Block Point. The home signals were fixed at proceed, and the points in number 2 road were spiked for the shed road. The signals and plunger locking were abolished in 1962, a staff lock being provided on the main line points. It was closed to all traffic in 1966, and disestablished as a Intermediate Block Point in 1967.
