Padstow is a railway station on the Airport and East Hills Line of the CityRail network. Located in the Sydney suburb of Padstow, it serves a residential area. Padstow is an intermediate station with an island platform serving two tracks. It was originally built with only one track.

[edit] Service

Padstow is currently an interchange in non-peak between 'all stations' trains to East Hills and 'limited stops' trains to Campelltown and Macarthur. Padstow is served mostly by 4 'all-stations' trains per hour and 4 'limited stops' trains via the airport, with some additional trains during peak hours.

[edit] Clearways

Under the Clearways Project, four tracks will be extended from Kingsgrove to Revesby, and the 'all stations' trains travelling via the Airport line will terminate at Revesby. 'All stations' trains will use the two inner tracks, while fast 'skip stop' trains will use the two outer tracks. The Clearways project is due to be completed by 2008.

The station is equipped with Easy Access lifts for wheelchairs since about 2003.
