Pymble railway station is located on the North Shore railway line. It serves the residential and commercial area of Pymble.
The station opened several decades after the line opened, with a single platform designed for conversion to an island platform once duplication arrived. The station exists on the grounds of the former estate of Robert Pymble, after whom the suburb (and thus station) is named.
As the station is connected to the adjacent streets on either side via stairs, Easy Access is not available for wheelchairs.
Pymble is the 80th most patronised railway station in Sydney (out of a total of 176 stations), with an average of 3160 passengers boarding per day.
Landslides
During early 2012 and mid-2012, several landslides occurred to the north of the station where the line passes through a cutting. On the weekend of 1 September, columns were put in place to prepare for the installation of a retaining wall. On the weekend of the 15–16 September the retaining wall was installed on the side of the line, hopefully preventing further landslides in the area. Also during light rainfall and a lack of drainage, the line used to receive minor flooding- not affecting services. This issue has now been solved.
