In 1927, the station was moved about 160 metres west and reconstructed, to allow for the construction of the South Kensington – West Footscray goods line.[2]
Two dual gauge goods tracks run north of the station, linking the Port of Melbourne and other freight terminals to the rest of the state. Since 1962, those tracks have also formed part of the Melbourne – Sydney standard gauge line. The tracks also form part of the Melbourne – Adelaide standard gauge line since 1995. The Regional Rail Link lines run to the south of the station.[3]
Middle Footscray has one island platform with two faces. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Sunbury line services.[4]

It is planned to connect the Sunbury line to the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, via the new Metro Tunnel, in late 2025.
