The track from Coldstream to Yarra Glen was formerly leased by the Yarra Valley Tourist Railway, but the lease was discontinued when the poor condition of bridges on that section of the track made it unlikely that any trains would run on it.

in 2020 the Yarra Valley rail trail opened and as part of this the platform at Yering was rebuilt and is currently the end of the trail.[1]
