Sefton is a railway station on the Bankstown Line of the Sydney Trains metropolitan rail network in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It serves the suburb of Sefton, a mostly residential area. Clustered around Sefton railway station is a fruit shop, a chemist, a gunsmith, a funeral parlour, and, further afield, the "Sefton Playhouse", a popular strip club. The station has a simple island platform.

A third track known as the Southern Sydney Freight Line was opened in 2011 to carry freight trains separately from the passenger lines. As part of the project, Sefton received an easy access upgrade.

Service history

Sefton was previously on the Inner West Line of the network, which at the time connected it directly to Lidcombe, Strathfield and the City Circle, and later on both the Inner West Line and the Bankstown Line, but services on the Inner West Line were progressively reduced until they were eliminated in 2013. This means that travelling between Sefton and Regents Park requires interchange at Birrong.

Platforms and services

As of the new Sydney Trains timetables on Sunday the 20th of October 2013: on weekdays the station is served by two trains per hour in each direction for most of the day, with additional trains provided during peak hours; and on weekends the station is served by two trains per hour in each direction for most of the day.
