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

History

Vineyard station was opened as an infill station on 14 July 1935. ^[3] As part of the electrification of the line from Riverstone to Richmond in 1991, the station was completely rebuilt. ^[4]

The original pre-electrification platform and corrugated shelter of Vineyard station are briefly featured in the Australian video clip of the 1985 Icehouse song "No Promises", with vocalist Iva Davies seen standing on the railcar set 606/706 passing through the station and rounding the bend.

Platforms

Historically,^{[ when? ]} Vineyard has been served by services operating from Sydney CBD/North Shore, branching off the Western Line at Blacktown. However, after a major timetable change for the Sydney Trains network on 26 November 2017, Cumberland line services started continuing out to Richmond, rather than terminating at Schofields, during the late night, taking over from the Richmond line at these times.
