History

Camellia station opened on 21 January 1885 as Subiaco. It was renamed Camellia on 14 September 1901.[2]

In 2014, Camellia was the least patronised station on the Sydney Trains network, with 70 boardings per day being recorded.[3]

The Camellia to Carlingford section of the Carlingford railway line is being converted to light rail as part of the Parramatta Light Rail project with the line closed on 5 January 2020.[4] The area near Camellia station will be the branching point for the lines to Carlingford and Strathfield.[5]

The station and surrounding area were fully demolished in May 2020.
