Beverly Hills is a railway station on the East Hills railway line of the Sydney Trains network, serving the Sydney suburb of the same name. The station has a single entrance from the eastern side of the King Georges Road overbridge, with stairs and a lift down to the single island platform.
Beverly Hills is staffed from 6:00am to 7:00pm on weekdays, and 8:00am to 4:00pm on weekends and public holidays.[1]
History[]
All platform buildings on the East Hills line were built to the same general design and plan, which was revised after initial planning to include a booking office, Station Master's office and parcels office. The platform at Beverly Hills is unique on the line by having the' Down' side straight and the "Up" side curved. Beverly Hills station opened on 21 September 1931 as Dumbleton, after the nearby farm established in the 1830s, when the East Hills line was extended from Kingsgrove to East Hills. It was renamed Beverly Hills on 24 August 1940. The line through the station was duplicated in 1948.
In 2007, a lift to the platform was built along with steel awning that covered the stairs and extended to the building from street level. The station has the distinction of being one of the last in Sydney to sell "Edmondson" card type tickets.
In 2013, as part of the quadruplication of the line from Kingsgrove to Revesby, through lines were added on either side of the existing pair.
A new commuter car park is being planned at Beverly Hills, as part of the government's $3 billion Infrastructure and Job Acceleration Fund. [2]
