Cranbourne railway station is the terminus of the Cranbourne line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Cranbourne opening on 1 October 1888.
Cranbourne station opened on 1 October 1888 as a station on the South Gippsland line that until 24 July 1993, was serviced by V/Line services to Leongatha.
However, the Victorian government still has plans to reintroduce rail services to Leongatha in the future as well as extending the electrified line 3.5 kilometres to Cranbourne East. The last regular train ran beyond Cranbourne on 15 January 1998, when the Koala Siding (near Nyora) to Spotswood station sand train ceased operation.
In November 1993, Train Order Working replaced Electric Staff safeworking to Cranbourne, then on 24 March 1995 the electrification and power signalling on the line was commissioned from Dandenong station.
In April 2008, work started on the construction of six train stabling sidings at Cranbourne station, to enable more trains to run on the line at peak times without duplicating the line. The works were completed in November 2008. As part of these works the station & bus interchange received an upgrade.
Cranbourne has one island platform with two faces. The platform features a customer service window, two enclosed waiting rooms and toilets. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Cranbourne line services.
