Wingello railway station is located on the Main South railway line in the town of Wingello in the Southern Highlands area of New South Wales, Australia. It is served by NSW TrainLink's Southern Highlands Line services. The station opened in 1871 with a platform added a decade later in 1882.[1]

The station has two short platforms that serve the diesel railcars that use the line. They are not connected, and passengers are required to use the vehicular level crossing at the southern end of the station to cross the tracks and enter the other platform.

Platforms and services

The station is part of the Southern Highlands, which is served by three trains a day each way on weekdays for the stations further south of Moss Vale. These trains 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 two services each way, in the early morning and evening.
