Pymble railway station is located on the CityRail North Shore line, Sydney. It serves the residential and commercial area of Pymble.

It is served by four trains per hour most of the time, with additional trains at peak hours. The station opened several decades after the line opened, with a single platform designed for conversion to an island platform once duplication arrived.^{[citation needed]}

As the station is connected to the adjacent streets on either side via stairs, Easy Access is not available for wheelchairs.

It has been a popular activity of young hooligans to scratch part of the "L" in "Pymble" away so that the sign reads "Pymbie".^{[citation needed]}
