Cardiff is a railway station located in Cardiff, New South Wales, Australia on the Newcastle & Central Coast Line. The original Cardiff station opened on 14 March, 1889, and the station at the present site has been operating since 8 June, 1902. [Bozier, Rolfe, [http://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Cardiff "NSWrail.net: Cardiff Railway Station"] . Accessed 6 November, 2007.] The station has two platforms. The station is the closest to the factory of EDi Rail who have made a lot of Cityrail's trains. The stattion itself has a relatively short platform, thus passengers on 8-car trains are asked to board the last 6 carriages (4-car trains are also used during off-peak hours and weekends which makes it possible for passengers alighting or boarding to utilise the entire 4-car set).

The long distance functions of this station are proposed to be replaced by a new station at Glendale, closer to Sydney.
