South Morang is a below ground premium station, featuring an island platform with two faces.

In its final years of operation, the passenger service was provided by a diesel electric railmotor (DERM).

Following the election of the Bracks Government in October 1999, a promise was made to restore the rail service to South Morang by 2003.

As a result of continued community pressure by the South Morang Rail Alliance, a coalition of community groups in the area, then Premier, John Brumby, announced in 2008 that construction of the extension would be brought forward to 2010, as part of the Victorian Transport Plan.
