Facilities

Moorooduc station has a heritage signal box obtained from the now defunct Somerton Station (Now roxburgh park). Currently, it is not used and is open for free inspection by passengers

A Toilet block is being installed currently. A dock is present but is mainly used for renovations and maintenance. A footbridge from the now closed North Fitzroy Station is also at the station.

Future Plans

The Mornington Railway have worked hard to restore the old train line that continues over the highway adjacent to it and into a pile of vegetation. The track runs all the way past Peninsula Link and into Baxter station A few kilometers down the line will be a possible proposed Sumner Road station, but the outcome of the project will vary, especially in terms of money. The railway line will continue and join onto the Stony Point railway line and then will terminate at Baxter.
