Location

Ormond station is aMetro Trains Melbournerailway station on theFrankston line, which is part of theMelbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb ofOrmond, inMelbourne, Victoria, Australia. Ormond station is a below groundhost station, featuring three platforms, anisland platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 19 December 1881, with the current station provided in August 2016.^[4]

Initially opened asNorth Road, the station was given its current name of Ormond on 1 September 1897.^[5]

Ormond station opened on 19 December 1881, when the railway line fromCaulfield was extended toMordialloc.^[4] Like the suburb itself, the station was named afterFrancis Ormond, agrazier andphilanthropist in religion and education.^[6] Ormond was later elected to theParliament of Victoria in 1882 as a member of theLegislative Council.

In 1922, the station was closed togoods traffic.^[4] Asiding at the station was removed in that same year.^[4]

In 1968,boom barriers replacedinterlocked gates at the former North Roadlevel crossing, which was located at thedown end of the station.^[4] In 1974, all interlocking at the station was abolished.^[4] Also in that year, anisland platform and aside platform for services operating in the down direction was provided.^[4]

On 28 June 1987, the up face of the former surface-level island platform was brought into use.^[7]

On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade Ormond to apremium station, along with nineteen others.^[8][9] However, in March 2011, this was scrapped by theBaillieu Government.^[10]

In May 2014, theVictorian Government announced agrade separation project to remove the North Road level crossing, requiring the station to be rebuilt.^[11] On 25 March 2016, the station temporarily closed, to allow its demolition and rebuilding below ground level. On 29 August of that year, the rebuilt station opened.

Ormond has oneisland platform with two faces and oneside platform. Until 2023, in the morning peak-hour,Frankston-bound services used Platform 3, withFlinders Street-bound services using Platforms 1 and 2. At other times, Frankston-bound services used Platform 2.

Following the re-construction ofGlen Huntly station in July 2023, Frankston-bound services use Platform 3, while Platform 2 is not regularly used and non-stopping express trains pass the platform in the peak hour.

It is serviced byMetro Trains'Frankston line services.^[12]
