Belmore railway station is a station on the CityRail Bankstown line, located in the Sydney suburb of Belmore. It opened in 1895 and was the terminus of the line until 1909 when the line was extended to Bankstown.^[1] It is generally served by four trains per hour in each direction, although this can vary during peak hours when there may be extra services, and also after hours when services are less frequent. Situated in a cutting, it has a slender island platform, and is crossed by a road bridge which carries Burwood Road. Entry is through an original wooden ticket office directly off Burwood Road, a single set of stairs providing access to the platform below. The station is currently being refurbished as part of an easy access upgrade.
