Oakleigh railway station

[6] Oakleigh station is currently served by the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, which are both part of the Melbourne railway network.

In 1915, a new station building had been constructed to the same style as Box Hill, Caulfield, Essendon, Heidelberg and Spotswood in the Melbourne area, and Castlemaine and Warragul in the country.

[12] Around the same time, the Hanover Street bridge was built across the Dandenong end of the goods yard, with alterations to the passenger sidings and the run-around loop south of the station was abolished.

The original Warrigal Road surface was partially retained as a slip lane to serve a handful of shops along the western boundary.

The road bridge piers were spaced to allow extension of the track from the southernmost platform in the citybound direction.

[20] In 1975, the track layout was drastically simplified, and both signal boxes were abolished and demolished, being replaced with a new, experimental route-setting power interlocking system located in the middle of the southern station building.

Station staff operated the signal panel during busier times to allow access to or from the goods yard, terminating trains, or overtaking moves in either direction.

Way and Works waggon HD205, which had been parked at the city end of the through siding for years, was transferred to the Caulfield depot on 22 June 1984.

[25] In March 1987, a guards' indicator light was provided for signal post 16, controlling citybound moves from Platform 1.

[31][32] The station is currently served by both the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, which are both operated by Metro Trains Melbourne.

[7] Platform 1: Platform 2: Future services: In addition to the current services, the Network Development Plan – Metropolitan Rail proposes linking the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines to both the Sunbury line and under-construction Melbourne Airport rail link via the Metro Tunnel.

[33] Oakleigh Station is served by a total of eleven bus connections, including two Smartbus routes.
