History

Announced as part of the Victorian Transport Plan in 2008, [6] [7] the project was re-announced in the 2010-11 state budget. [8]

On 9 October 2010, construction of the station officially commenced, when the then Minister for Public Transport, Martin Pakula, turned the first sod. [9] Completion was expected in 2011 but, due to the under-budgeting of the electricity connection to the station, the project stalled. [10] [11]

Platforms and services

Lynbrook has two side platforms and is served by Cranbourne line trains. [12]

Platform 1:

Platform 2:

It is planned that trains on the Cranbourne line will be through-routed to Sunbury station via the Metro Tunnel, which is scheduled to open in 2025.
