Fairy Meadow railway station is located on the South Coast railway line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the northern Wollongong suburb of Fairy Meadow opening in 1887 as Cramsville. It was renamed Para-meadow on 3 October 1888, Balgownie on 13 December 1909 and Fairy Meadow in January 1956.[3]
The station underwent maintenance in 2011 which saw the resurfacing of platforms, new garden beds and the repainting of exterior surfaces. The pedestrian level crossing was upgraded in 2013. In 2019 the station received major accessibility upgrades. Two elevators to connect station platforms with the Elliott's Road overpass were installed, along with accessible toilets and updated security features. The pedestrian level crossing was removed.[4]
