Wentworth Falls railway station is located on the Main Western line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the Blue Mountains town of Wentworth Falls opening on 22 July 1867 as Weatherboard, being renamed Wentworth Falls on 21 April 1879.[1]

In 1902, it was converted to an island platform when the line was duplicated.[2] A passing loop previously existed north of Platform 1 but has been disconnected from the main line.

Upgrade

In May 2013, a major upgrade for Wentworth Falls was announced as part of the Transport Access Program.[3] In 2014, the station building was restored, with the ochre paint removed to return it to bare brick.

In December 2014, designs for the major transformation were released, including three lifts, a covered walkway and bike parking facilities. Subject to community feedback, planning approval and contract award, work will start in the first half of 2015.[4]
