Anzac railway station
Anzac railway station is an underground railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines, which are part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the southern end of the Melbourne city centre and South Melbourne in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Opened as part of the Metro Tunnel project, Anzac is an underground premium station, featuring an island platform with two platforms. The station connects directly to the Anzac tram interchange at street level. Major construction commenced in April 2018, and was completed in September 2024. The station opened on 30 November 2025, along with the rest of the Metro Tunnel.
Originally announced under the working title of Domain, after the nearby Kings Domain, following a naming competition the station was named Anzac for the nearby Shrine of Remembrance and in honour of the Anzac spirit of "service and sacrifice". Construction on the station commenced in 2018 using the cut-and-cover method. The station provides a direct platform transfer to services on the busy tram corridor along St Kilda Road and also provides access to the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park.
Upon opening, Anzac became the southernmost underground railway station in the world.
