Victorian Closed Stations near Melbourne.

[David Langley <del@ancc.com.au>]

A recent discussion regarding Melbourne's second grade stations prompted
someone to ask for a list of stations located within 100 km of
Melbourne, but not on closed lines, that have been closed. This list is
based on a list of names supplied by Krel (I think). I have added others
I could think of and I think the following is a complete list of all
stations that have closed:-
