Platforms & services

Flemington Racecourse has two side platforms. During special events, it is serviced by trains to Flinders Street calling at North Melbourne and Southern Cross.[2] Two sidings between the platforms are used to stable trains.

During construction work on the Regional Rail Link, the station has been opened on occasions with Sunbury line services diverted.

In 2018, when the level crossing was being removed at Essendon Station, Racecourse station was used for commuters on the Craigieburn Line.
