History
[edit]In 1953, the line from Nar Nar Goon was duplicated, with electrification between Pakenham and Warragul occurring in 1954.[1][better source needed] In 1956, the line to Bunyip was duplicated,[1][better source needed] and in 1957, the present island platform was provided, when duplication of the line was provided through the station.[1][better source needed]
Rail sidings were once provided at Tynong, however they were withdrawn in 1978/1979.[2] On 1 October 1979, freight services to and from the station were withdrawn.[3] A further siding was removed in 1982.[1][better source needed]
