Glenfield railway station is a major interchange on the Sydney Trains network, serving the south-western Sydney suburb of the same name. The two island platforms are linked by an overhead concourse with ticket gates to entrances on Railway Parade and a pedestrian walkway that links the station to Hurlstone Agricultural High School and the multilevel commuter carpark. The station is fully wheelchair accessible and staffed at all times.[1]

History

The station opened on 6 September 1869, about ten years after the opening of the Main South line. The initial platform was located north of the current station, being relocated to its current position on 27 March 1891. Originally the station consisted of two side platforms.

The role of Glenfield changed significantly with the opening of the East Hills to Glenfield extension of the East Hills line (and Holsworthy station) on 21 December 1987, which joins the Main South line just north of Glenfield station. The platform buildings were substantially redeveloped at this time.

An additional track was opened to the west of the station in 1995 as part of the Glenfield - Ingleburn passing loop. This unelectrified track was used by freight and long-distance passenger trains. In December 2012, the track was incorporated into the Southern Sydney Freight Line and became freight only.

In 1996, as part of the Y-link works at Granville which created the Cumberland line, Glenfield gained an extra platform (the current platform 1). Platform 1 was created as a side turnback for terminating Cumberland line trains by converting the existing side platform for Central-bound trains into an island platform.

Glenfield station received further redevelopment and expansion as a result of the construction of the South West Rail Link to Leppington. Stage 1 was to upgrade the infrastructure to handle more trains. Upgrades included the construction includes new car parks, a bus interchange, a new overhead concourse with lifts, a new platform and grade-separation of the East Hills line junction. A new temporary ticket office was constructed opposite the station in the Magee Lane car park. This served as the ticket office until the construction work at the station was completed. A temporary footbridge provided access to the station after the original eastern entrance was closed. In June 2014, once work was completed, the East Hills line flyover opened, platform 1 became a through platform and platform 4 was brought into service, creating two island platforms.

Stage 2 involved actually building the new line and connecting it to the Main South line just south of Glenfield junction via another grade separated junction. The line opened on 8 February 2015.

From November 2017, all services from north of Glenfield operate to and from Leppington, with the line between Glenfield and Macarthur served exclusively by services operating via the T8 Airport & South Line. In recognition of the increased interchange at Glenfield, the works include a minor upgrade to the station that includes extended canopies and new service indicator screens.
