History

On 22 April 2015 the station suffered significant flooding due to inclement weather, with the flood water nearly reaching the height of the platform. A time lapse video of CCTV from the station was released publicly showing the rising flood water, as seen here.

A Sydney Trains Waratah A set, A29, was caught in the floodwaters. The water came up to almost door level, causing several electrical components underneath the train to be damaged. A29 was transferred to Cardiff for repairs, before returning to service 6 months later.
