About Caulfield Station

PTV commuter and regional rail station
 

Caulfield railway station is the junction station for the Pakenham, Cranbourne and Frankston lines in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Caulfield East, and opened on 7 May 1879.

The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, and is located adjacent to the Caulfield Campus of Monash University and Caulfield Racecourse.

The small brick building on Platform 1, near the main platform building, was provided in 1974, and originally served as a race ticket office.

In 1977, the goods yard was closed to traffic.

In 1985, a number of sidings and their associated points and signals were abolished.

The station underwent a minor refurbishment in 1994. 

On 13 June 1996, it was upgraded to a Premium Station, although the enclosed waiting area and ticket facilities were built in 1993, as part of the "Travel Safe" program.

In 2017/2018, it was the seventh busiest station on Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 4.7 million passenger movements
