Platforms and services

Leppington has two island platforms with four faces.[5] Initial services consisted of a half-hourly shuttle to Liverpool.[6] From 13 December 2015, trains operate directly to the city via Granville. Despite all four platforms capable of serving any line, platform 2 and 3 are normally used to serve the T2 and T5, while platforms 1 and 4 remain mostly unused.[7] From 26 November 2017, Cumberland Line services stop at the station, providing a link to Parramatta, Blacktown, Schofields and Richmond.[8][9]
