North Strathfield railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Northern line, serving the City of Canada Bay suburb of North Strathfield. It is served by Sydney Trains' T9 Northern Line services.
History
The Homebush to Hornsby section of the Main North railway line was first opened in 1886, and a connection from the Main North railway line to Strathfield to the east was subsequently added. North Strathfield station was added to the line much later: it opened on 9 June 1918 as an island platform with two faces. In 1924, a third platform was added on the western side.[1][2] Added to the line much later It is now the first station on the Main Northern line after it branches from the Main Suburban line at Strathfield.
Today, the primary, eastern, connection between the Main Northern and Main Suburban lines is from North Strathfield and Strathfield, but the single track western connection between North Strathfield and Homebush still exists. This connection is mainly used by freight trains but is occasionally used by passenger trains travelling to Olympic Park station during trackwork or for major events at Sydney Olympic Park.
To the east of the station lies a passing loop. This had been taken out of use, but in June 2015 was recommissioned as part of the construction of a dive south of the station as part of the Northern Sydney Freight Corridor project.[3][4][5][6]
As part of the Sydney Metro West project, a further two platforms will be built.[7][8][9]
As part of the accesbility projects, the station was upgraded and given lifts in November 2019.[10]
