Pakenham Station, terminus of Pakenham Line. (Very soon to be demolished.)

Just a walk around the platforms at the current ground level Pakenham Station prior to its rebuilding works in May 2024. However it is really not going to remain for much longer, because in 5 days time, at around 9pm on Friday 17 May, it will be closed permanently for demolition while buses replace trains between Berwick and Pakenham from 9pm Friday 17 May until the last service Sunday 2 June 2024.
When trains resume between Berwick and Pakenham on Monday 3 June, they will be running on the 2.5 km skyrail and the new elevated Pakenham Station will be open to the public.
