Final Days for Old Lilydale Station.

Once a masterpiece of the Victorian Railways used to be the junction to the scenic Healesville Line and the Warburton Line that would be the gateway to the Yarra Valley. Like the other stations that had featured Refreshment Rooms, the station had carried on its tradition of being a refreshment room until the end of July 2021, with an uncertain future. Opening on 1 December 1882, Lilydale station was the new terminus of the extended line from Camberwell. The station building that was built was a small country station that was only serving the Healesville Line. In 1901, the Warburton Line would open, making Lilydale Station a hub for freight and passenger services which were all steam-hauled until electrification came further down the track. <a href="https://medium.com/the-gauge/final-days-for-old-lilydale-station-7fcb0d7eeb6a">Click Here</a>
