Berala railway station is located on the Main South line, serving the Sydney suburb of Berala. It is served by Sydney Trains T3 Bankstown line services.

History

The original Berala station opened on 11 November 1912 when a line opened from Lidcombe to Regents Park. When it was decided to extend the line from Regents Park to Cabramatta as a branch of the Main South line, a deviation was built and a new Berala station opened on 6 December 1924.[1][2]

An accessibility upgrade, including lift access to the station, was announced in 2015.[3]

This changed in the early 2000s, when most services to Liverpool were altered to operate via Bankstown.
