Leightonfield railway station is a heritage-listed railway station on the Main Southern railway line in the Sydney suburb of Villawood. It is served by Sydney Trains' T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line services.
Leightonfield station opened on 24 August 1942 to service the adjacent munitions factory, which contributed to Australia's war effort in World War II.[3] It was transferred from Federal to State Government ownership on 1 February 1962.[4] [5]
To the south of the station lies the Southern Sydney Freight Line, which opened in January 2013.
Historically, eastbound services connected Leightonfield to the City Circle via and the Main Suburban railway line. Between 2013 and 2024, eastbound services from Leightonfield to the City Circle ran only via an alternate route along the Bankstown railway line.[6] Following the partial closure of the Bankstown railway line for Sydney Metro conversion in 2024, this situation reverted. Now eastbound services from Leightonfield operate to the City Circle via Lidcombe again, branded as the T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line.[7]
