Granville is a major station in the CityRail network of Sydney, Australia, serving the city's South and Western lines along with the inter-city Blue Mountains Line. A major role of Granville has traditionally been an interchange between the South and Western lines, however this role has been diluted somewhat since the opening of the Cumberland Line in 1996.
Historically, Granville, then called Parramatta Junction was the end point of the first railway line in New South wales, which started at today's Central Station (→ Inner West line).
The infamous Granville railway disaster on 18 January 1977, Australia's worst rail disaster which killed 83 people, took place just about 200m west of the station.
