Helensburgh is a CityRail railway station on the South Coast railway line of New South Wales, Australia. It serves the small town of Helensburgh, although despite the name, the station is located in the neighbouring suburb of Lilyvale, which is some five minutes drive to the Helensburgh town centre and about 15–20 minutes by bus.
The current Helensburgh station opened in 1915, replacing the original station which opened in 1889 on the original alignment of the Illawarra line at that location.[1] The station has an island platform and was upgraded to easy access status in 2007 by the provision of a lift from the parking area at the end of Tunnel Road . The station is served by one train per hour for most of the time, with additional trains at weekday peak hours. It is used by an average of 1640 weekday commuters.[2]
