Yagoona railway station is a station serving the Sydney suburb of Yagoona. It is served by Sydney Trains T6 Lidcombe & Bankstown Line services.
History
Yagoona station opened on 16 July 1928, when the Bankstown line was extended from Bankstown to Regents Park.
In 2018, the NSW Government considered extending the Sydney Metro Southwest line north beyond Bankstown to Yagoona as the terminal. However, due to NSW Government budgetary constraints, a lack of community support, and the future extension of the Metro line west from Bankstown to Liverpool using a new rail corridor, the proposed Yagoona Metro terminal was abandoned.
In 2020, following the NSW Legislative Council Inquiry into Sydenham to Bankstown line conversion's review of Transport for NSW plans to close stations in the west of Bankstown, the NSW Government announced a Bankstown to Lidcombe shuttle service would operate in the short-term through Yagoona once Sydney Metro Southwest opened in 2024.
The station received an upgrade under the Transport Access Program that was completed in August 2022. This included replacing the station building, concourse, lift and stairs. The new lift was the first hands free lift on the Sydney rail network.
