Sherwood Park Railway Station
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. 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.
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.
