Drone footage of the newly constructed Pakenham Metro Railway Station in the outer suburbs, 58.2km east of Melbourne CBD, Victoria, Australia. Filmed on 25 November 2025.
Pakenham station is a Metro Trains Melbourne and V/Line railway station on the Pakenham and Gippsland lines, part of the Melbourne and Victorian rail networks. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Pakenham in Victoria, Australia.
Pakenham is now an elevated premium station, featuring two side platforms. The station originally opened on 8 October 1877, with the current station being completed in June 2024.
In May 2024, the Main Street level crossing was grade separated, as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. A rail bridge was built over the road, and included a new, rebuilt elevated station. As part of the project, Pakenham line services were extended by approximately 2 km to a new station at East Pakenham.
On 17 May 2024, McGregor Road, Main Street and Racecourse Road level crossings were eliminated. On the same night, the old ground-level Pakenham station was closed and demolished. The rebuilt Pakenham station and new East Pakenham station opened on 3 June 2024.
