[1] In addition to people attending garden parties at Rupertswood, the platform was used on approximately 15 occasions between July 1879 and February 1890, for various groups, such as Sunday school excursions.
In 1889, the Victorian Railways traffic manager recommended the construction of a second platform, because of the number of people who had to cross the tracks.
From about 1930, an annual Eucharistic Festival was held at the school, with a number of special trains being run, requiring temporary intermediate block posts to be established between St Albans and Sunbury.
In the early 2000s, the Victorian government's Regional Fast Rail project involved the rebuilding of much of the Bendigo line.
Because Rupertswood station only catered for school traffic it was decided to close it, and that occurred in December 2004.
