Richmond railway station is the terminus station of the Richmond line, serving the Sydney suburb of Richmond. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 Western line services.
Richmond station opened on 1 December 1864 when the line opened from Blacktown.
On 8 December 1926, the line was extended to Kurrajong with the line leaving from Platform 1, then going across the corner of Richmond Park and along the side of March Street. This extension closed on 26 July 1952 after a landslide near Kurrajong during heavy rain. Having low levels of traffic its restoration could not be justified. Little evidence of it now remains.
As part of the electrification of the line from Riverstone in 1991, the yard was remodeled with the current train storage sidings laid on the northern side of the station and removal of tracks from the southern side.
Busways operate seven routes to and from Richmond station:
