Stanmore railway station is located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Stanmore. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Inner West & South line services.
Stanmore station opened in 1878. The Main Suburban line through Stanmore was quadruplicated in 1892, and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works.
As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform. The new most northern platform had a station building similar to the disused example at Petersham, this was demolished in 1926 as part of the sextuplication works.
Up until the 1980s, a few morning peak services from the North Shore line called at platform 1 for the benefit of Newington College students.
