Kingswood is a CityRail railway station on Sydney's Western railway line. It serves a residential area. It has two side platforms. The station is the nearest -- but not particularly close -- station to the Penrith campus of the University of Western Sydney. An additional station (tentatively known as Nepean station) was proposed between Werrington and Kingswood to serve the University more conveniently. The station has street access to both platforms, connected by a footbridge. This is not sufficient to be classed as Easy Access for wheelchairs.
