Villawood is a minor railway station on the CityRail Inner West railway line, Sydney. It serves a residential area, with some industry. It has an island platform, built with the opening of the line. Under the Southern Sydney Freight Line project, a third track will be built by 2008 to carry freight trains separately from the passenger lines.
[edit] Service
The station is serviced by up to 2 trains per hour in each direction on the Inner West Line during peak hours and at night on weekdays, and 2 trains per hour on the Bankstown Line all day.

There are additional trains in peak hours.
