Bundanoon Railway Station is a station on the Southern Highlands line of the NSW TrainLink intercity network in Bundanoon, New South Wales, Australia. The station opened on 6 August 1868 as Jordan's Crossing, but was renamed Jordan's Siding in 1878. Finally in 1881, the present name was agreed upon. The station has two short platforms that serve the diesel railcars that use the line. NSW TrainLink services to and from Canberra and Griffith can also stop at the station on request from passengers.
The platforms are not connected, and passengers are required to cross the tracks by a foot crossing at the northern end of the station to reach the opposite platform. Both platforms are at the same level and there is effectively Easy Access to the station.
The station has a signal box on platform 2 which controls a set of points just to the north of the station. Until the 2005 timetable one afternoon train a day terminated using this setup, the train arriving on platform 1 using the set of points, and departing back towards Campbelltown. This practice was discontinued, the signal box and points closed and the route curtailed to end at Moss Vale.
Platforms and services
This and other Southern Highlands stations south of Moss Vale are served by three trains a day each way on weekdays—in the early morning and in the evening. During the day, a replacement bus service meets trains at Moss Vale, which takes passengers to other Southern Highlands destinations and to Sydney and suburbs. NSW TrainLink trains between Moss Vale and Goulburn depart southbound in the morning and northbound in the afternoon. On weekends there are two services each way, in the early morning and evening. NSW TrainLink Xplorer services also serve the station in both directions, between Canberra (or one service to Griffith on weekends) and Sydney.
