The latest Melway shows proposed stations at:

Lynbrook (between Cranbourne and Mernda near the old Lyndhurst station
site),
Dallas, Petullos and Somerton between Craigieburn and Broadmeadows (I
assume in conjunction with electrification of the line to Craigieburn),
One unnamed station and a relocated Sydenham station beyond St Albans,
Cave Hill between Mooroolbark and Lilydale.

I don't have the Melway in front of me so there may be one or two others
I've missed or forgotten.
