Marulan has two side platforms and one dock platform. It is serviced by early morning and evening NSW TrainLinkSouthern Highlands Line services travelling between Sydney Central, Campbelltown, Moss Vale and Goulburn.[6] A south facing dock platform was used to stable maintenance vehicles. It was removed when a pedestrian ramp was installed in April 2014.[7]
During the day it is served by one NSW TrainLink road coach service in each direction between Moss Vale and Goulburn.[6]
The station complex includes a type 1 brick combination station building and residence completed in 1867, with a verandah dating from 1874. The railway platform is faced in brick and dates from c. 1915. A timber signal box situated on the platform, dating from c. 1915 and the overbridge road at the Sydney end comprise part of the complex. A Goulburn works 20 ton weighbridge (c.) 1923 is no longer extant, having been removed at an unknown date prior to September 2004.[5]
Heritage listing
Marulan is a rare surviving station dating from the opening of the line with relatively small changes to the fabric of the station building. Although much equipment at the site has been removed and there are only remnants of the goods yard surviving, the station building in particular is significant in understanding the development of railways and is a significant townscape and landscape element, particularly when viewed from the overbridge or the park in the main street. The residence and weighbridge add to the site, the weighbridge indicating the nature of the remainder of the yard now deserted with most facilities removed and the residence relating to the rear of the station building with its frontage to the main street.[5]
