History
![](../I/m/Railway_Station_-_Helensburgh.jpg)
The current Helensburgh station opened on 30 May 1915, replacing the original station which opened in 1889 on the original alignment of the Illawarra line.[1] Helensburgh became the temporary terminus of the electrified line when it opened from Waterfall on 6 May 1984.[2] It was extended through to Port Kembla in January 1986.
In 2007, a new footbridge was built at the western end of the station with the staircase to the Wilons Creek Road overpass removed.[3]

Helensburgh has one island platform with two faces and is serviced by NSW TrainLink South Coast line services travelling between Sydney Central, Bondi Junction and Kiama.[4] It is also the terminating point for one weekday afternoon Sydney Trains service that is extended from Waterfall primarily to convey school students.[5]
