THE Victorian Government, V/Line, the Regional Rail Revival group and Victoria's Big Build all can take credit for the foresight to upgrade some of Victoria's country stations as part of the stages of upgrading the Shepparton Line.

Nagambie station was one of those fortunate one to have their platform extended to double its length, to cater for the new VLocity trains to begin in the near future and new platform lighting, CCTV cameras, bus interchange, another small shelter, a new concreted carpark, safety measures and landscaping.

There will be no toilet facilities, as it is their policy to not place them on unmanned stations anymore due to the threat of graffiti.

For months rail users to and from Nagambie have been travelling by bus if the lines major works have held the trains up, while level crossings or platform work was undertaken.

On Friday, a community celebration to commemorate improvements to the Nagambie station was held at the station.

Representatives from the Victorian Government, V/Line, the Regional Rail Revival group, Victoria's Big Build and Strathbogie Shire Council were present at the celebration.

As were many of the work people who had a major input into the ongoing station and level crossing project for Nagambie.

A short formal proceeding was held with the delivery director for Regional Rail Revival Ben Henshall speaking on behalf of the three station upgrades delivered as part of Stage 2 of the Shepparton Line project.

He also discussed stage 3, and said when it starts it will increase services in and out of Nagambie.

Local police, CFA, ambulance, first responders, V/Line Officers, Regional Rail Revival staff, a couple of stalls and locals from community groups joined together for the family friendly event that offered free food and entertainment.

Young guitarist Tom Hammond provided light entertainment for those who enjoyed the morning in the spring sunshine.

The Nagambie Men's Shed cooked up a snag for them all, Mr Sheppy an ice cream or two, Olivers coffee wagon a cuppa, and pupils from St Joseph's Primary School and Nagambie Kindergarten enjoyed the children's amusements that were available for them to have fun on.

They all received a souvenir water bottle and information stickers about the future projects of our railway system.
