Location

Dandenong station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne and V/Line on the Pakenham, Cranbourne and Gippsland lines, which are part of the Melbourne and Victorian rail networks. It serves the south-eastern suburb of Dandenong, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Dandenong station is a ground level premium station, featuring three platforms, an island platform with two faces and one side platform. It opened on 8 October 1877, with the current station provided in 1995.

A number of train stabling sidings are located near the station, including to the north of the station on either side of the railway line, as well as parallel to the platforms. A little-used goods yard was once located to the south of the station.

The disused General Motors station was situated between Dandenong and Hallam.
