Ormond station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Frankston line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Ormond, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Ormond station is a below ground host station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 19 December 1881, with the current station provided in August 2016.[1]

Initially opened as North Road, the station was given its current name of Ormond on 1 September 1897.[2]

History

Ormond station opened on 19 December 1881, when the railway line from Caulfield was extended to Mordialloc.[1] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Francis Ormond, a grazier and philanthropist in religion and education.[3] Ormond was later elected to the Parliament of Victoria in 1882 as a member of the Legislative Council.

In 1922, the station was closed to goods traffic.[1] A siding at the station was removed in that same year.[1]

In 1968, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former North Road level crossing, which was located at the down end of the station.[1] In 1974, all interlocking at the station was abolished.[1] Also in that year, an island platform and a side platform for services operating in the down direction was provided.[1]

On 28 June 1987, the up face of the former surface-level island platform was brought into use.[4]

On 4 May 2010, as part of the 2010/2011 State Budget, $83.7 million was allocated to upgrade Ormond to a premium station, along with nineteen others.[5][6] However, in March 2011, this was scrapped by the Baillieu Government.[7]

In May 2014, the Victorian Government announced a grade separation project to remove the North Road level crossing, requiring the station to be rebuilt.[8] 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.

Platforms and services

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

Following the re-construction of Glen 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 by Metro Trains' Frankston line services.[9]
