Warwick Farm railway station is on the Leppington, Bankstown and Cumberland lines of the Sydney Trains network. It serves the suburb of Warwick Farm. Station entry is accessed through sets of stairs and lifts on Warwick Street and Remembrance Drive. These connect to a footbridge, where customers can use another set of stairs and lift to access each platform.
Warwick Farm is staffed from 6:00am to 7:00pm on weekdays, and 8:00am to 4:00pm on weekends.[1]
History[]
The original Warwick Farm station opened on 18 March 1889 as a private platform for William Forrester near the former level crossing on the Hume Highway. It was relocated to its present location in 1943 when nearby Warwick Farm Racecourse was used as a military camp.
Previously, a 1.6-kilometre branch line to the racecourse branched off from the Main South line north of the station, and carried special racecourse trains on race days. The branch opened in June 1889, closed in August 1990 and was removed in December 1991.
The Southern Sydney Freight Line opened immediately to the east of the station in January 2013. As part of its construction, a footbridge with lifts and stairs was constructed. Previously, crossing the railway line required passengers to use the Hume Highway bridge. Platform 2 was very narrow and was widened during the works. An Easy Access upgrade was also implemented, with wheelchair accessible lifts added to the street level entrances and platforms to connect with the new footbridge.
A new car park is being planned at Warwick Farm, as part of the government's $3 billion Infrastructure and Job Acceleration Fund. [2]
