Terminus

Mooroolbark railway station is located on the Lilydale line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the eastern Melbourne suburb of Mooroolbark opening on 10 October 1887.[1]

A crossover is located at the southern end of the station, which allows some services to terminate here. The station marks the end of double track on the Lilydale line.

As of late October 2013 there have been three new small shelters build at the end of the platforms. Platform one has one at each and end platform two has one at the Lilydale end. With this came the raised platform so now there is no ramp needed to be used at Mooroolbark.

In 2015 the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced the removal of the Manchester Road. Premlinary planning has begun, though a construction date is yet to be announced.[2]
