Turrella railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the East Hills line, serving the Sydney suburb of Turrella. It is served by Sydney Trains' T8 Airport & South Line services.

History

Turrella station opened on 21 September 1931 when the East Hills line opened from Tempe to East Hills.[3][4] In 2000, as part of the quadruplication of the line between Wolli Creek and Kingsgrove, through lines were added on either side of the existing pair.

In early 2024, Turrella station received an accessibility upgrade, which included a new concourse, lift and stairs, as well as other minor upgrades making the station fully accessible.[5]
