Unanderra railway station is located on the South Coast (Illawarra) railway line in the Wollongong suburb of Unanderra, New South Wales, Australia. It is served by 'intercity' trains of CityRail's South Coast line. Opened in 1887,[1] the station consists of an island platform with access via an overbridge across the rail tracks. The station marks the end of the double track section of the South Coast line, and the junction with the Unanderra-Moss Vale railway line is located to the south.
It is not presently accessible to the disabled however will be upgraded in 2010.[2]

[edit] Platforms and services
The station is served by about one train per hour for most of the time, with additional trains at weekday peak hours. Unlike conventions of Cityrail stations, Platform 2 is for Sydney-bound, with trains normally operating on the right-hand side of the platform rather than the left. Platform 1 is on the western side while Platform 2 is on the eastern side.
