Until their demolition, Munro, Fernbank, Lindenow and Hillside stations were located between Stratford and Bairnsdale stations.

Major signalling changes occurred in 1986, including the abolishing of the electric staff sections Sale - Stratford Junction, and Stratford Junction - Stratford, and replaced with the electric staff section Sale - Stratford,[2] with an intermediate electric staff instrument provided at Stratford Junction.[2] All signals and interlocking at Stratford Junction, located towards Melbourne, were also abolished during this time.[2]

Platforms & services

Stratford has one platform. It is serviced by V/Line Bairnsdale line services.[3]

Platform 1:

gollark: Excuse me?!
gollark: If you mean "automatically puts files on disk", then my sandbox can probably be made to do that.
gollark: Ah, so a bad thing, probably?
gollark: You just need common sense, `set shell.allow_disk_startup false`, and... that's about it?
gollark: `pastebin run HqViWwLE` will also disable disk startup!
