Rydalmere railway station

The original station opened on 20 April 1896 as Victoria Road. It was renamed Rydalmere on 1 August 1901.[2] The station was originally located on the western side of the line. It was replaced by a new station on the eastern side over the former goods siding on 28 June 1993.[3]

Conversion to light rail

The station along with the rest of the Carlingford railway line closed on 5 January 2020, due to the conversion of the Camellia to Carlingford section of the Carlingford line to light rail as part of the Parramatta Light Rail project. [4] The station and surrounding land were fully demolished in April 2020 .[5][6]

Initial plans for the proposed light rail station retained the name Rydalmere. However, following extensive community consultation the new station was renamed Yallamundi in June 2022, a Darug word reflecting "storytelling" and connecting to the nearby Western Sydney University (Parramatta South) Campus. [7][8] The light rail station opened on 20 December 2024 as part of Stage 1 of the Parramatta Light Rail.
