Wasn't Alamein named after the battle of El Alamein where Romell was turned
back???

If so how could it have closed and re-opened???

The line wasn't extended beyond Ashburton until after WW11, the original
Outer Circle Line didn't have a station anywhere along there, Ashburton was
originally called Norwood I think and was a crossing loop, the next station
was Waverley, (later called Waverley Road), the next Oakleigh.

Just as apoint of interest the pub at Oakleigh (since yuppised) is called
the 'Oakleigh Junction Hotel' a reminder of Oakleigh's Outer Circle
connection.

Bob.

P.S. When I was a young lad growing up in Oakleigh (just after the Rosstown
Railway closed)<g> , it was known as "The Blood House".
