The Station Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which follows the Pakenham/Cranbourne railway lines from Hughesdale railway station to Centre Road, Clayton in the inner southern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[1][2][3]
Following the path
The path starts at Hughesdale railway station. Here the path changes from the north side to south side of the railway line at Poath Road. 300 m along the Rosstown Rail Trail leads off to the right (south west). A short on road section at Carlisle Crescent delivers you to Oakleigh station. Easy to get lost here - use the station underpass to rejoin the path on the north side of the rail line. The trail continues to Centre Road, with one more crossings of the train line at Clayton Road. As part of the level crossing removal project between Caulfield and Dandenong, the station trail is set to be extended on either side to link Monash University Caulfield with the EastLink Trail at Yarraman station. It will link up with the Anniversary Trail at Hughesdale. This is due to be constructed and landscaped upon completion of the removal project.[4]
