Lakemba railway station is a heritage-listed railway station on the Bankstown railway line in the Sydney suburb of Lakemba. It is currently closed for conversion works to enable it to be served by Metro North West & Bankstown Line services in the future.
Lakemba station opened on 14 April 1909 when the Bankstown line was extended from Belmore to Bankstown.[3] [4]
Previously, a shunting neck existed to the west of the station allowing services to terminate at Lakemba. This was removed in the 1990s. The original wooden ticket office above the station was demolished after it was heavily damaged by fire and replaced by a modern metal and glass structure. The station received an easy access upgrade which included a lift in 2007.[4]
The station closed on 30 September 2024 to facilitate the conversion of the Bankstown railway line to Sydney Metro.
A war memorial was opened outside the station on 19 April 1953 by State Governor John Northcott.[4]
U-Go Mobility operates four bus routes via Lakemba station, under contract to Transport for NSW:
