Rhodes is a CityRail railway station on the Northern line.

Rhodes is the station for the industrial suburb of Rhodes, the gated village/suburb of Liberty Grove (the luxury suburb opened in 1998), and Rhodes Waterside, and for the shopping centre there.

Rhodes station recently underwent a major redevelopment, with the new station featuring a new air conditioned concourse with lofty roofs, glass walls and curving, bright ceilings. There are covered staircases and lifts to the fully undercover platforms. The platforms now also feature Dell monitors which are being installed in new stations across Sydney. On the concourse, there are two ticket offices for passenger information and ticket sales.
