Canterbury is a CityRail railway station on Sydney's Bankstown line. Located in the suburb of Canterbury, it serves a residential area. Canterbury Park Racecourse is adjacent, and a branch line formerly led to sidings used on race-days (now demolished). It has three platforms, only two of which are now used. One of the platforms faces one of the two goods lines that pass through Canterbury- part of the Metropolitan Goods Line. This disused platform was formerly used for special racecourse trains.
