List of closed railway stations in Sydney

The city of Sydney has been served by an extensive network of railway lines since the Main Suburban railway line opened in 1855, with over 70 railway stations in Sydney having been subsequently closed. Many of the stations closed as a result of the closure of the railway lines which they were located on.

Closed lines

There are several closed lines in Sydney. Dates refer to each railway line's opening and closure dates and are not necessarily reflective of passenger service dates.

Converted lines

There are several railway lines that have been either fully or partially converted for other purposes. The dates refer to each railway line's existence as part of the wider Sydney Trains and freight railway network.

Fully converted lines

• The Epping to Chatswood railway line (2009–2018), converted to form part of the Sydney Metro Northwest line.
• The Rozelle–Darling Harbour Goods railway line (1855–1996), converted to form part of the Inner West Light Rail.
• The Royal National Park railway line (1886–1991), converted to a heritage tramway for the Sydney Tramway Museum.

Partially converted lines

• The Bankstown railway line (1895–2024), converted to form part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest line.
• The Carlingford railway line (1885–2020), converted to form part of the Parramatta Light Rail.
• The Sandown railway line (1888–2019), converted to form part of the Parramatta Light Rail.

Stations

'Suburb' refers to the location of the station itself and may not correlate with the suburb served, such as Template:Rwsa which was located in Elderslie but served the suburb of Kirkham.
Stations that were closed and later rebuilt or reopened have been noted through multiple dates.
'Replacement' refers to stations that were opened either directly after the former station's closure, or built later at the same location.
For ease of access, linkage to railway lines and suburbs are repeated throughout the table.

ⁱⁿ after a station name means "industrial station": stations built especially for workers. Many of these lines and stations also served non-worker passengers, such as the Sandown line.
* after a station name means "renamed sometime before closure", with some renamed several times. Stations are referred to by their final name before closure.
► after a replacement station means "later renamed as".
Template:TFNSW icon after a replacement name indicates a Sydney Trains station.
Template:TFNSW icon after a replacement name indicates a Sydney Metro station.
Template:TFNSW icon after a replacement name indicates a Sydney Light Rail station.
+/- after a replacement station's name indicates that it lies close to the disused station but is slightly displaced (and may not run along the same line).
