History
Birrong station opened on 16 July 1928, when the Bankstown line was extended from Bankstown to Regents Park.[2][3] To the north of the station lies Sefton Park Junction with services heading north to Lidcombe and west to Liverpool on the Main South line. The Bankstown line also passes over the Southern Sydney Freight Line. Birrong is now a key interchange station on the Bankstown Line for passengers travelling along the Liverpool via Regents Park route due to the removal of services from this route on 20 October 2013.
