Yagoona is the next station west of Bankstown on the CityRail Bankstown line and is situated virtually next to the Hume Highway in Yagoona. The station opened in 1928 when the Bankstown line was extended from Bankstown to join the Main South at Regents Park, and the track was electrified in 1939[1]. It has a simple island platform and does not retain its original station buildings.

The station platform is connected with the adjacent Hume Highway by stairs but the lack of a lift doesn't give Easy Access for wheelchairs, parents with prams and the like. However, the recent addition of tactile tiles on the platforms comes as an aid for the sight impaired who often travel with CityRail.
