Mount Druitt is a railway station on the Western line, Sydney of the CityRail network. It serves a well established residential, educational and commercial area. It has four tracks, paired by direction. This means that all trains to the city leave from the same island platform, so if the train happens to travel on the unexpected track, it is a simple thing to walk over to the other platform. Mount Druitt's platforms are accessible by lifts, and is therefore classified as an Easy Access station for wheelchairs. The station is also a bus interchange for Westbus and Busways private bus operators providing bus services to the local Mount Druitt area and connecting passengers to the outer suburbs (St Marys, Minchinbury, Willmot, Dean Park, Doonside and Blacktown).

The existing station (adjacent to Westfield was opened on 8 December 1974. Electric services commenced on 8 October 1955, with an opening ceremony conducted by the then Premier of New South Wales Joseph Cahill.
