The station once had extra sidings on the far side of platform 2, as well as a turntable. In the early 1990s the turntable was relocated to Castlemaine for use by the Victorian Goldfields Railway. The original stationmaster's house still stands. It was built in 1897, and at the time the stationmaster was able to see along the track from the doorways.

The disused station at Carlsruhe is located between Woodend and Kyneton stations.

Platforms & services

Woodend has two side platforms. It is served by V/Line Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill line trains.[2][3][4] In the morning peak hour, trains to Melbourne depart from Platform 2, and trains to Bendigo depart from Platform 1. That reverses after 8:30am, to allow services in the peak direction of travel to utilise the single 160 km/h track that was upgraded in 2006 as part of the Regional Fast Rail project.
