The first Como railway station was opened in December 1885 and made Como a popular weekend resort. When a new railway bridge over the Georges River was built adjacent to the original bridge in 1972, the original station was relocated about a kilometre southwards.
The original station platform[1] is still visible today near the southern end of the bridge. The station buildings have been demolished and a power sub-station was built in their place on the platform - most of which remains. There is no public access to the original platform but the subway tunnel under the rail line can still be used.
The station is served by two trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.
