Bell railway station, originally called Mount Wilson, is a regional railway station on the Blue Mountains Line of the CityRail intercity network, serving the village of Mount Wilson in the Upper Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. The village of Mount Wilson is some 14 kilometres away from the station, so the area of Bell itself is mainly comprised of a number of properties around the road junction between the Darling Causeway and the Bell's Line of Road, and the railway platform. The station opened in 1875[1]. The station has an island platform and is served by one train each way every two hours in off-peak, with additional services during peak hours. The station is an 'a' designated station, meaning that the trains do not stop unless alighting passengers notify the guard beforehand, or passengers on the platform wave down the train. Owing to its remoteness and lack of passengers, the station is not staffed.
