Gah, I hate dealing with the Outer Circle.
Do you by any chance have the dates when the whole shebang was closed, before Deepdene reopened?
On seeing this, and my own notes, which are contradictory, I'm quite confused as to where Richmond Park and Waverley Road (the latter of which isn't mentioned here) were.
If my notes are right, Waverley Road was after Ashburton, and after that, it met the main line at Oakleigh - not East Malvern. As far as I understand, that was the end of the Circle. However, where I get confused is that I've put Richmond Park as being a couple of stations later, which really doesn't make much sense at all. *sigh* Ambivalenthysteria 08:32, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Did the Darling branch come from Ashburton and go west along the current GW route (thus creating the Circle, as the Oakleigh connection only allowed trains to go to or from Dandenong, unless I'm wrong), or did the branch come some other way? It needs clarifting in the article where exactly the 'Circle' in the Outer Circle line existed. TPK 13:25, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Yet another fact to check up on: was Alamein station a part of the OC? I was under the impression there was nothing from Ashburton to Waverley Park until that was all closed and the electric extension was made to Alamein. Or was Ala. originally a steam station too? TPK 13:50, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I've been reading some history of the line in Harrigan's VR to '62 which suggests that East Camberwell was a far more important station than the current line guide suggests (given that it doesn't even appear on the current guide). Here's a suggested update, which also notes the point at which the Glen Waverley line crosses the path of the old Outer Circle line. I realise it looks a little clunkier than the current version, but I think it's technically more correct. - Zzrbiker ( talk) 10:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

on the page that discusses roystead station, it mentinos about red brick with green painted iron bridges. i think its highly unlikely the bridges iron sectinos were painted green at the time id imagine they were painted green when the foot/bike track opend to make the area even more presentable and cover rust and dirt etc. green became the the theme for local councils in the area. i could be wrong but i assume they werent painted that in they heyday, look at any other bridge to do with a railway on the other train lines they dont bother painting anything... |

I went over the Chandler Highway Bridge with my mum on the 21st of May this year, and the highway now runs on its own bridge next to the old Fairfield Railway Bridge, which is now part of a pedestrian and bike path. Since original research and personal accounts don't qualify as a source, can anyone find a verifiable source that confirms this, so that it can be cited and updated here?
