Wiley Park railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Bankstown line, serving the Sydney suburb of Wiley Park. It is served by Sydney Trains T3 Bankstown line services.

History

Wiley Park station opened on 19 June 1938, well after the line from Belmore to Bankstown opened in 1909, to provide an interchange with King Georges Road. While adjacent stations have island platforms, this station was built with side platforms and the architecture of the station buildings is significantly different.[3] [4]

The station received lifts and additional canopies as well as a new building on Platform 1 in 2023, in preparation for conversion to Sydney Metro.
