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.[2]

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.[3][4]

An accessibility upgrade, including lift access to the station, was announced in 2015.[5]

As of August 2017 Berala Station is now Wheelchair accessible by way of Lift.
