Location

Westona station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Werribee line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the western suburb of Altona, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Westona station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring an island platform. It opened on 21 January 1985.

Westona is a crossing loop in the middle of a 10-kilometre-long section of single track between Altona Junction and Laverton. The direction in which trains cross at Westona is unusual for Melbourne, in that they pass each other on the right, rather than passing on the more common left.
