Facilities
The station is located at the northern end of the Macaulay Road level crossing, which provides access to the station.
There are two platforms at Macaulay, one either side of the tracks. Platform 1 has a substantial brick building with a disused booking office, while Platform 2 has a smaller brick shelter of similar architectural style. Each platform has one of the smaller coin-only Metcard ticket machines, and the outbound platform in addition has a Telstra payphone.
The station is situated beside the Moonee Ponds Creek and surrounded mainly by factories and warehouses. Kensington station on the Craigieburn line is only 400m away and is significantly closer to the residential area, and handles a larger number of commuters.
The station is situated at ground level beneath the CityLink tollway which is supported atop concrete columns situated outside the platform fencing.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
