Location

East Pakenham station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne and the terminus of the Pakenham line, which is part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Pakenham and the nearby suburb of Pakenham East in Victoria, Australia. Opened on 3 June 2024, East Pakenham is a ground-level premium station, which means that it is staffed throughout the day. The station has an island platform and bypass tracks for V/Line regional services.

East Pakenham station was constructed at the same time as a rebuild of Pakenham station, as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. Until mid-2023, the state government referred to the station as Pakenham East railway station.
