History
The old station at the former site originally opened in 1925. In February 2003, the construction of a new Oak Flats station, completed by Mainland Civil, and designed by Design Inc included a new bus interchange. The current station is located about 400m south of the former site, with the platform relocated onto the eastern side of the track. A newly constructed footpath links the former station site with the present one.
