South Kensington (junction to suburban and goods lines)
At South Kensington the RRL tracks will run to the south of the current passenger platforms, with the existing goods lines needing to be relocated.
Two sets of crossovers link the down RRL tracks to the existing Geelong-bound suburban tracks, with a third crossover linking the up RRL tracks to the citybound suburban tracks. South Kensington is also the end of the parallel single track goods line, which diverges here for North Dynon.
