Bungendore railway station is located on the Bombala line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of Bungendore.

History

Bungendore station opened on 4 March 1885 when the Bombala line was extended from Tarago. It served as the terminus until the line was extended to Queanbeyan on 8 September 1887.[1][2][3] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop.

On 17 June 1940, Bungendore became a junction station when the Captains Flat line opened, branching off the Bombala line five kilometres south of the station. [3]

Bungendore station was used in the filming of The Year My Voice Broke and the Mick Jagger version of Ned Kelly.

Bungendore is served by three daily NSW TrainLink Xplorer services in each direction operating between Sydney and Canberra.[4]
