In the planning stages of the 2014 rail replacement program, Home Rail decided that the Home Pond railway station, which for years had a declining number of passengers, would be replaced by a new station located closer to the Lake Home, to help try attract people back onto the rail services, which were a quicker way of travelling to the Lake than the Line 2 tram service from the centre of Home.

Construction of Lake Home station began on February 19th 2014, with construction finishing on April 12th, ten days before the first scheduled service into the station.

The first train at the new station, was the 07:05 Home Rail service to Freshwater Beach on April 22nd. At 0700, the mayor of Home officially opened the station after officially opening the other new station on the network, Freshwater Bridge.

Services
Lake Home station is served by the Lake Home line, operated by Home Rail, with services every 30 minutes to Home Interchange and Freshwater Beach.

Tram Stop
Lake Home tram stop comprises of an island platform containing a through platform for Purple trams, with a bay platform for Blue trams to make a reversal out of the station to head back to East Wall. The tram stop opened in 2012 along with both routes that it serves.
