Wyndham Vale railway station is a regional railway station on the Deer Park-West Werribee line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the western Melbourne suburb of Manor Lakes, which was part of Wyndham Vale until being gazetted as a separate suburb in March 2016, nine months after the station opened. Wyndham Vale station is a ground level premium station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 14 June 2015. ^[1]

Built as part of the Regional Rail Link project, ^{[2] [3]} it was officially opened on 14 June 2015 by Premier Daniel Andrews and the federal Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Warren Truss, with services commencing on 21 June 2015. ^[4]

A turnback siding is located between the two running lines just to the south of the station, used for peak hour terminating services from Melbourne. A stabling yard has also been built to the north of the station. Construction began in mid-2018, and the sidings were opened in April 2020. ^[5]

Under the Western Rail Plan, announced by the Andrews State Government in 2018, the station will eventually become part of the metropolitan railway network. ^[6]
