Kogarah is a railway station on the CityRail Illawarra line. Located in the Sydney suburb of Kogarah, it serves a residential and commercial area, including the primary office complex of St George Bank. It is also the administrative centre for the local government area of the Municipality of Kogarah. The station concourse links directly to a small shopping mall called Kogarah Town Centre, which has been built directly over the railway platforms and beside them on Railway Parade. The station opened with the opening of the railway line in October 1884.[1]

[edit] Platform/Service

The station is served by four to six trains per hour, with additional trains in peak hours. Trains to the city leave from platforms 1 and 3, so passengers often prefer to wait at the top of the stairs until their train arrives, as this reduces the chance of going to the wrong platform.

The station sits beside a major bus interchange. With the May 2006 timetable the station is now included on the [[Image:South Coast Line]] timetable.
