Vineyard is a station on the Richmond line in the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. It serves a sparsely populated area, and is the least used station on the Richmond line. For a time (1999-2003), it was used so infrequently that CityRail did not even have a ticket machine. On 20 November 2006, Railcorp announced plans to extend duplication along the Richmond line to Vineyard station[1]. There are also long term plans to link the proposed North Western railway line to join the Richmond line at Vineyard.
