The Bankstown railway line is a railway line serving the Inner West and Canterbury-Bankstown areas of Sydney. Currently, it extends from the Illawarra railway line at Sydenham via Bankstown to the Main Southern railway line at Sefton Park Junction, over which Sydney Trains operates passenger services as part of the T3 Bankstown Line. From late 2024, the line between Sydenham and Bankstown is expected to undergo an extended closure to facilitate conversion for use as part of the Sydney Metro network.
