The Cumberland line extends from Richmond to Leppington in the western and south-western suburbs of Sydney. It is unusual in that it shares its tracks other lines, with the exception of a Y link between Merrylands and Harris Park. The Y link connects the South via Granville line with the Western line, and includes a flyover where the Up South line is carried over the two tracks of the Y link. Services on the Cumberland line mostly commence from Schofields, with some late night and morning services commencing from Richmond, and some peak services commencing from Blacktown.
