Penrose Railway Station is a railway station serving the small Southern Highlands town of Penrose and its surrounds, in New South Wales, Australia. It is part of NSW TrainLink intercity network, on the Southern Highlands Line. The station opened in 1869 as Cables Siding, but was renamed to its present name two years later. The station opened on its present site in 1916.

The station has two short platforms that serve the diesel railcars that use the line. They are not connected, and passengers are required to cross the tracks at the southern end of the station to reach the opposite platform. Since both platforms are level, there is effectively Easy Access to the station.

Platforms and services

The station is part of the Southern Highlands, which is only served by three trains a day each way on weekdays for the stations further south of Moss Vale. These trains only come in the early morning and in the evenings. During the daytime there is a replacement bus service heading south in the mornings, and heading north in the afternoon. On weekends there are only two services each way, in the early morning and evening.
