Location

Clarendon railway station is a suburban railway station located on the Richmond line, serving the Sydney suburb of Clarendon. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 Western Line and T5 Cumberland Line services.

History

Clarendon station opened in 1870 as Hawkesbury Racecourse, being renamed Clarendon on 1 November 1876.[3][4]

In 2024, it was the least visited station across the entire Sydney suburban network.

Air show service

An annual air show takes place on the adjacent RAAF Base Richmond and special train services operate. The line west of Clarendon to Richmond is downgraded to a siding, and as trains arrive at Clarendon, terminate and stable on the temporary siding beyond. A connecting bus maintains a passenger service to East Richmond and Richmond stations.
