Sherwood Park railway station is a regional railway station on the Warrnambool line, part of the Victorian railway network. It opened on 19 February 2006 and mainly serves the adjacent Warrnambool campus of Deakin University.[1][2] The station has limited usage due a lack of residential development within close proximity, and limited pedestrian access.
The intention to build Sherwood Park was first announced during the 2002 Victorian state election.[3]
The station is the least patronised one on the Warrnambool line, and one of the least-used in Victoria. Patronage data showed that only 1,814 passengers used the station in 2016-2017, an average of five a day.[4]
