The aerial imagery in this special report demonstrating how the line has changed over time is provided by Australian location intelligence company Nearmap.

The company provides government organisations, architectural, construction and engineering firms and other companies with easy instant access to high resolution aerial imagery, city-scale 3D content, artificial intelligence data sets and geospatial tools to assist with urban planning, monitoring and development projects in Australia, New Zealand, and North America.

The Glen Waverley train line is unique in its experience with the Level Crossing Removal Project, in that all the planned removals have been completed. Toorak Rd in Tooronga was completed in 2020 and Burke Rd at Gardiner station was completed in 2016. These were the only two planned removals on the popular train line.
