During the 2002 Victorian State Election, the State Government proposed a station to serve the rapidly expanding southernmost suburbs of Geelong. During the planning stages, the station was named Grovedale. In December 2003 it was announced that the new station would be built adjacent to the Marshalltown Road level crossing, on the site of the former Marshall station. Following a naming competition, it was revealed in September 2004 that the new station would be called Marshall.

The new Marshall station opened to passenger traffic on 26 April 2004, and was initially served only by Warrnambool line trains. From September 2005 it began to be served by Geelong line trains extended from South Geelong, and became the terminus for most Geelong line services, but following its opening in October 2014, Waurn Ponds station became the terminus for the majority of Geelong line services.

The now-closed Geelong Racecourse station was formerly located between Marshall and South Geelong.
