Lyndhurst railway station

Lyndhurst railway station

Lyndhurst was a railway station on the South Gippsland line (now the Cranbourne line) in Victoria, Australia. It was situated just north of the Lyndhurst Road (now Western Port Highway) level crossing. In 1979, it had a single platform on the east side of the track, and a loop siding.

The station was served by passenger trains to Leongatha and Yarram until their withdrawal in June 1981, and then by Dandenong to Lang Langrailmotors until their withdrawal in October 1981. Although passenger train services between Melbourne and Leongatha were restored between 1984 and 1993, Lyndhurst station was not re-opened. The platform has been demolished.

In the 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan, a new passenger rail line was proposed linking Frankston and Lyndhurst.

Cement traffic from Waurn Ponds near Geelong, to a siding serving a concrete batching plant operated by Boral, ended in 2009, after Pacific National increased the costs charged to . The siding and silo were removed in 2021 to make way for the duplication of the Cranbourne line.
