Moss Vale railway station is located on the Main South line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of Moss Vale opening on 2 December 1867 as Sutton Forest, being renamed in 1877.
The station has an unusually wide island platform, which is connected to the station entrance and the street by a pedestrian overpass. The platform included a garden and a private dining room for Governor Belmore who spent the summers in nearby Throsby Park from 1870 to 1872. The dining room had to be big enough for a cook to prepare simple dishes and for a footman to serve.
There is a grassy area at the south end of the station, with picnic tables in between the platforms. A dock platform previously existed at the northern end of Platform 1 for services to Wollongong, but this track has since been lifted. Immediately north of the station, is the junction for the Unanderra line.
In March 1999, a refuelling and stabling facility for Endeavour railcars was built to the north of the station.
Moss Vale has an island platform with two sides. It is serviced by NSW TrainLink Southern Highlands Line services from Campbelltown and a limited number of peak hour services operating to Sydney Central and Goulburn.
It is also serviced by NSW Trainlink Xplorer and XPT long distance services from Sydney to Canberra, Griffith and Melbourne.
