[4] Special services to Flemington Racecourse and Showgrounds pass through the station, but do not stop, with signs on Platform 2 advising passengers of this.

The most obvious difference between the two station buildings is the cantilever verandah with its scalloped ripple-iron valance and the elegant post-supported one opposite.

Elevated siting has provided scope for an extensive wall and a piered iron fence to face the plantation reserve below; this appears to be from the 1905 improvements to the complex.

The signal box has an unusual design and is built in the manner of the nearby station buildings, with polychrome brickwork and a hipped roof form.

Three sides of glazing at the upper level are accessed by a cantilevered wrought-iron walkway cum terrace, linked with ground by a timber stair.

Campbell and Gray were the contractors for the station, while A. Challingsworth built the down (west) side in 1905, together with improvements at Moonee Ponds and Essendon 1908.

Presumably as a mark of the increasing traffic on the now duplicated line, contractor A. T. Taylor built the signal box in 1887 during the reign of R. Watson as Engineer in Chief of the railways.
