On 6 February 2016, whilst operating a Flinders Street service, and negotiating the tightest curve on the metropolitan railway system, a trailer carriage of an X'Trapolis train derailed 100m north of the station, resulting in one injury. The line reopened the next day. On 10 February 2016, another derailment, involving railway track machines, occurred near Rushall. That derailment resulted in buses replacing trains between Clifton Hill and Bell for much of 11 February. The line partially reopened for evening peak-hour commuters later that day.In music
Melbourne indie band Underground Lovers wrote a song named ''Rushall Station'', about the quietness of the site, which then became the title track for an album. The station is also mentioned in Marcel Borrack's song ''Ruthven to Rushall''. In October 2016, Melbourne electronic music producer Arcadic released a single named after the station, titled ''Rushall''.
