Menangle Park Railway Station is a station on the Southern Highlands line of the CityRail intercity network, serving the town of Menangle Park, New South Wales, Australia. The station opened on 26 September 1937.

The station has two platforms that serve the diesel railcars that use the line. The platforms are not connected, and passengers are required to cross the tracks on a pedestrian level crossing at the northern end of the station to access the opposite platform. There is Easy Access to the station, with the assistance of a friend or carer.

The station is next to the old Menangle Racecourse station which opened in 1914, and closed in 1963. The station's platform is still in existence, although no track runs through the station.

[edit] Platforms/Service

The station has a reasonably infrequent service, with trains between Moss Vale and Sydney approximately every 1.5 to 2 hours, and only 3 trains on weekdays and 2 on weekends proceeding further to Goulburn. The trains to Goulburn only come in the early morning and in the evenings.
