Berala Station

Berala is a railway station on the Main South railway line in Sydney, Australia. It services the Sydney suburb of Berala. It is served by CityRail's Inner West and Bankstown Line services. CountryLink trains pass through on the way to destinations in southern NSW.

The station platform itself is an island platform and is accessible only via stairs from a pedestrian subway (and therefore lacks disabled access). The subway connects both sides of Berala, with the main commercial area, lying to the north west of the station. The ticket office is manned most of the time. A waiting room is open during the morning peak.
