Location

Miranda railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Cronulla line, serving the Sutherland Shire suburb of Miranda. It is served by Sydney Trains' T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line services.

History

Miranda station opened on 16 December 1939 when the Cronulla line opened from Sutherland to Cronulla. ^[3] It initially had a goods siding. ^[4]

On 15 July 1985, the line between Gymea and Caringbah was duplicated with a new track laid north of the existing single line, with the platform converted to an island platform. ^{[5] [6]}

By January 2005, an upgrade to the station including a lift was complete.

In 2014, new station canopies were installed on the station platform. ^[7]
