In the course of my job, I pass by that spot several times a week. Take it from me, nary a trace remains. The only clue as to Lilyvale's site is a substation on the Down side of the current double track Lilyvale tunnel, and the old single track, but still extant Lilyvale No. 2 tunnel......which was meant to be yesterday morning
Thanks Spletsie.
New pic in the morning
In the body's (often) feeble attempts to realign itself with the rigours of shiftwork after some days off, I was, in spite of going to bed, unable to sleep a wink. Result being, yesterday morning I was like a completed example of the taxidermist's art (well & truly stuft).
.....which was meant to be yesterday morningAre there by any chance two different gauges here?
There's one clue already apparent, for the keen observer
Are there by any chance two different gauges here?On this line, yes - after a fashion.
Cheers

A clue would be the stone wall hidden in the undergrowth in the background ,but as to where I have no idea .Never even noticed the stone wall in the background (!), though I might have on the day.

Missing copeing stone on the lead up retaining wall ?'tisn't a retaining wall per se, it's part of a particular piece of infrastructure common to all railway stations. You're looking at one end of it
'tisn't a retaining wall per se, it's part of a particular piece of infrastructure common to all railway stations. You're looking at one end of itOne end of a Sandstone Platform or Goods Platform. Where? Somewhere (the track quality does not suggest that it is a Main line) where the wind blows is all that I can decipher so far.
This line has many of this kind of infrastructure built from that same kind/type of stone; also along this line other certain pieces of infrastructure peculiar to railway stations are built of the same material.
