Heritage listing
Menangle station group is one of the earliest station complexes to survive in the state. It is a combination station building and residence which has had substantial additions. Although the second platform and building have been demolished for a new platform the remaining up buildings and platform are of very high significance in the development of railway buildings. Significant features of this building are its lack of awning to the platform, the unusual planning of the building with detached wings, room for porters, no waiting room and the asymmetrical elevations. The remaining structures are of national significance in conjunction with the railway underbridge listed separately. Note: There are incomplete details for a number of items listed in NSW.
