Chester Hill railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Southern line, serving the Sydney suburb of Chester Hill. It is served by Sydney Trains T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line services.

History

[edit]

Chester Hill station opened on 8 October 1924 when the Main South line was extended from Regents Park to Cabramatta.[3][4]

To the south of the station lies the Southern Sydney Freight Line that opened in January 2013.

Platforms and services

[edit]

Historically Chester Hill was served by services from the city and Lidcombe operating to Liverpool. This changed in the early 2000s, when most services to Liverpool were altered to operate via Bankstown. These services would change when the Bankstown Line closed on 30 September 2024 as a result of its conversion to Sydney Metro. Chester Hill is now served by an altered T3 that goes to & from Liverpool via Regents Park and Lidcombe.

The NSW Government Future Transport Strategy 2056 (November 2020 Edition) includes Chester Hill as the interchange station on the proposed Parramatta to Kogarah via Bankstown line.[5]
