Carlton railway station is a suburban railway station located on the South Coast line, serving the Sydney suburb of Carlton. It is served by Sydney Trains T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line services.
Carlton station opened on 15 February 1887, with proper station facilities constructed in 1889.[4] Originally the station had two platforms, and as part of the quadruplication of the Illawarra line, a second island platform was added in 1925.[5][6] In January 2008, lifts were installed at the station.[7]
It is the closest station to Jubilee Oval with NSW TrainLink services from Wollongong making extra stops during St George Illawarra Dragons games.
On Sunday 21 July 2024, at around 12:15pm, it was reported that a double pram carrying twins had rolled onto the tracks, the father jumping down in an attempt to rescue them, however an oncoming train failed to stop in time and killed the 40-year-old man and one of the twins.[8]
