Entrance

History

The station opened with the line in 1939, when the surrounding residential area was first developed.

Originally, Gymea Station was one of two crossing loops between Cronulla and Sutherland, with the other being at Caringbah Station. The line section from Gymea to Caringbah was duplicated in 1985, and under the CityRail Clearways Project, the remaining sections of single line railway from Sutherland to Gymea and Caringbah to Cronulla were duplicated in 2010.

In 2005, the station was upgraded to Easy Access with the installation of a lift and tactile strips.

Platforms and services

The station is served by four trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.
