Kingswood railway station is located on the Main Western railway line in the western Sydney suburb of Kingswood. It is served by the T1 Western Line of the Sydney Trains system.

Opened in 1887,[1] the station consists of two side platforms with access via an overhead concourse and footbridge. The station is the nearest—but not particularly close—station to the Penrith campus of the University of Western Sydney. An additional station (tentatively known as Nepean station) was proposed between Werrington and Kingswood to serve the University more conveniently. A free UWS shuttle bus service operates between the station and the Kingswood, Werrington North and Werrington South campuses.

Kingswood is the 109th most patronised railway station in Sydney (out of a total of 176 stations), with an average of 2090 passengers boarding per day.

Platforms and services

On weekdays the station is served by four 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.

During off-peak hours two of these services terminate at Penrith and two services continue to Emu Plains. During evenings and on weekends all services operate to Penrith only, with no extensions to Emu Plains and vice versa.[2]
