After Caulfield, the Frankston line branches from these lines. The section of track from Caulfield to Moorabbin has three tracks. The extra track permits the use of one track as an express track during the morning and evening peaks.
After Moorabbin, the line reduces to two tracks. The stations after Moorabbin generally have two platforms, but Cheltenham has three.
