Croydon railway station is located on the Grange, Outer Harbor and Port Dock lines.

The provides easy access to the popular Queen Street/Elizabeth Street cafe and retro shop strip, as well as a children's park.

Whilst it had been previously proposed that as part of an upgrade to South Road, the station would be elevated and potentially relocated to the east as part of a grade separation project, the final design adopted a shorter rail overpass option allowing the station to remain in its current location.

[3][4] In October 2017, it was announced that the station would be demolished in its entirety to remove a speed restriction on passing trains due to the relatively narrow width of the rail corridor in between the platforms.

The rebuilt station features completely new platforms that are the same height as the train floor, as well as new shelters, seating and lighting.
