Station names on Melbourne's Cranbourne line

And now we are onto the other branch line that runs through Dandenong, the Cranbourne Line!

This is a very short blog (only four stations need to be covered), but this should still be enjoyable.

I do not have much else to say, so let us jump in!

Lyndhurst (closed)

The suburb of Lyndhurst was named after Baron Lyndhurst, sometimes known as John Singleton Copley, who was Lord Chancellor of England.

Lynbrook

Lynbrook takes its name from the nearby suburb of Lyndhurst, pretty simple really.

Merinda Park

This station was named after a housing estate located east of the station. I can find very little information on the actual estate, so if anyone knows where I can find some information on it, please let me know.

Cranbourne

To finish things off, the Cranbourne name has a number of theories on where the name came from. One theory is that the suburb is named after the town of Cranbourne, located in the British county of Berkshire, while the other theory is that the name was inspired by the Viscount Cranbourne, son of the Marquess of Salisbury.

Conclusion

That is all for this week! Names about Frankston Line stations will not be ready for quite a while.
