History
Marrickville station opened on 1 February 1895 when the Bankstown line opened from Sydenham to Belmore.

When the station opened, it consisted only of the island platform, which had stairs off the New Illawara Rd bridge. In 1916, the station's platforms were reconstructed with a new platform, now platform 2, built to the south of the island platform and the northern side of the island platform closed to make way for the Metropolitan Goods Line. Entry to platform 2 was from Station St, which ran parallel to the platform.

The line through the station was electrified in 1926. The booking office on Platform 2 underwent alterations in 1944.

New stairs down from Illawarra Road were built in 1985.

In June 2016 an upgrade was completed with lifts and a new concourse built. During this work, the stairs to platform 1 were closed and replaced with a temporary footbridge from platform 2. With the new concourse, both platforms can be accessed from New Illawara Rd. Even though a concourse was built, the station remains ungated.

Sydney Metro conversion
Marrickville will be temporarily closed by the end of 2023 to be converted to a metro station to serve Sydney Metro City & Southwest. The station will close for 6-7 months for platform straightening and fitting of platform screen doors. From 2019 to 2023, the station will also close during the Christmas/New Years holiday periods to allow for preliminary works to take place.
