Panania East Hills Holsworthy

East Hills is a station on the East Hills railway line of the Sydney Trains network. It serves the suburb of East Hills, and parts of Voyager Point and Pleasure Point. Station entry is accessed from Park Road and Broe Avenue.

East Hills is staffed 24 hours everyday.[1]

History

East Hills station opened on 21 December 1931 when the line was extended from Kingsgrove. It served as the terminus of the line until it was extended to Glenfield on 21 December 1987.

A new station was built south-east of the original station as part of the extension opening in August 1987 with the original station closed and demolished. Following the extension, East Hills became the main intermediate terminus and an interchange between all stops and limited stops trains. In addition to the two through tracks (platforms 2 and 3), a side terminating track (platform 1) was provided.

A new centre turnback at Revesby opened in 2009 as part of the Rail Clearways Program, which ended East Hills' role as the primary intermediate terminus. For a while, a handful of trains continued to start at East Hills during the morning peak, however these trains have now been canceled.

Planning is currently underway to improve accessibility at East Hills Station as part of the Transport Access Program. The project is expected to be completed in 2023.[2]
