Moorabbin railway station is located on the Frankston line, in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Moorabbin. Opening on 19 December 1881 as South Brighton, it was renamed Moorabbin on 1 May 1907.
In the morning peak hour, Frankston bound services use Platform 3, with Flinders Street bound trains using Platforms 1 and 2. At other times Frankston bound trains use Platform 2. Two morning peak hour services from Flinders Street terminate at Moorabbin and return to the city.
In 1959, the original station was relocated and placed in a deep cutting, coinciding with the construction of road overpasses for South Road and the Nepean Highway. At that time, provision was made for a third platform on the eastern side of the cutting. The third platform opened on 28 June 1987, when a third line from Caulfield was opened.
On 6 December 1994, a fire destroyed all shops in the concourse. The concourse was rebuilt and new shops were constructed. It was upgraded to a Premium station in 1998. The Station Street entrance and the bus interchange was re-built in 2014, as part of an upgrade program on the Frankston line.
Moorabbin has three platforms, all of which are accessed from the concourse via a ramp. The concourse contains a ticket office, toilets and shops. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Frankston line services.
