Lynbrook station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Cranbourne line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. The station serves the south-eastern suburbs of Lynbrook and Lyndhurst, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and opened on 22 April 2012.[1][2]
History
Announced as part of the Victorian Transport Plan in 2008,[3][4] the project was re-announced in the 2010-11 state budget.[5]
On 9 October 2010, construction of the station officially commenced, when the then Minister for Public Transport, Martin Pakula, turned the first sod.[6] Completion was expected in 2011 but, due to the under-budgeting of the electricity connection to the station, the project stalled.[7][8]
