Thanks. Good to know I'm mistaken about Oakleigh's status.That extra track hasn't existed for a very long time.I recall seeing a track diagram showing that there were previously three tracks between platforms 2 & 3, so I suspect that as long as they don't need four functional platforms at Oakleigh, there would be space for four tracks.
In the case of 4 tracks the Island platform 1 & 2 could be kept (platform 1 recommissioned) platform 3 might get demolished and moved a track width towards platform 2, crating room for a platform 4 (on the other side) pedestrian access would need to be totally redone.
Or you could demolish the Warrigal Road flyover, returning the road to ground level and skyrail the tracks over Warrigal Road and the station buildings (Hanover Street bridge may need to go too) the same concept could be done at Huntingdale (returning North Road back to ground level with a cross Intersection with Huntingdale Road)
