Cabramatta railway station is located on the Main South line, serving the Sydney suburb of Cabramatta. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 South, T3 Bankstown and T5 Cumberland line services.

History

Cabramatta station opened in 1870 on the Granville to Liverpool section of the Main South line.[1] On 8 October 1924, Cabramatta line became a junction station when another branch of the Main South line opened from Sefton, joining the existing line just north of the station.

In April 1996, the junction was upgraded from a low speed one with an 80 km/h speed limit. To make the higher speeds possible, the track centres have been widened from 4 metres at the platforms to about 12 metres at the diamond crossing at the heart of the junction. Longer points were installed.[2]

As part of the Southern Sydney Freight Line project, a third line was built behind the eastern side of the station. Due to limited space, an overhead concourse was constructed to replace a building on platform 2. The new concourse opened in 2011, the line in December 2013.[3][4][5]
