History[]
Chester Hill station opened on 8 October 1924 when the Main South line was extended from Regents Park to Cabramatta. To the south of the station lies the outer Southern Sydney Freight Line that opened in January 2013.
Historically, Chester Hill was served by both Inner West and Bankstown line services, running betwen Liverpool and the City via Lidcombe and Bankstown respectively. This changed in 2013, when the Inner West line was cut short to Homebush, leaving only the Bankstown line at Leightonfield. When Sydney Metro City & Southwest opens in 2024, the old Inner West services will likely be restored.
Platforms and Services[]
