Packenham railway station is located on the Gippsland line in Victoria, Australia. It is also the terminus of the electrified Pakenham line from Flinders Street. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne satellite suburb of Pakenham opening on 8 October 1877.[1]
In 1970 the station buildings were replaced with a new pebblestone structure and in 1975 suburban services were extended to the station. Boom barriers were provided at the Main Street level crossing in 1986.[2] It was upgraded to a Premium station on 15 March 1997.[3] Since 2001 it has been the extremity of the electrified network.
Stabling facilities are located south of the station. In March 2014 it was announced that a new train depot will be built at Pakenham East.[4]
