About Bankstown Station
Customers at Bankstown Station will have a new air-conditioned metro train every four minutes in the peak – that’s 15 trains an hour. Bankstown Station is currently serviced by 8 trains an hour in the morning peak.
The station will be upgraded with level access between platforms and trains, easy interchange with Sydney Trains and platform screen doors to keep people and objects away from the tracks. The existing lifts and entrances will be retained.
A Station Design and Precinct Plan (SDPP) has been prepared for Bankstown Station that shows how the new station design has developed and how it will integrate with the surrounding precinct. The key improvements are summarised here.
