Lyndhurst railway station

Lyndhurst is a former railway station on the South Gippsland (now Cranbourne) line. In 1979, it had a single platform on the east side of the track, and a loop siding.[1] In the 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan, a new passenger line was proposed linking Frankston and Lyndhurst.
