Revesby is a major station on the East Hills railway line of the Sydney Trains network, serving the south-western Sydney suburb of the same name. Station entry is accessed from Marco Avenue and Blamey Street, with stairs and lifts at both entrances. These connect to a station concourse, where two more sets of stairs and lifts connect to the platforms below. Located adjacent to the southern end of the station is Revesby Village Centre and Revesby Workers Club.
Revesby is staffed from 6:00am to 10:00pm everyday.[1]
History[]
Revesby station opened on 21 December 1931 when the line was extended from Kingsgrove to East Hills. In 1956 a crossing loop was opened.
On 9 December 1985, the line from Revesby to East Hills was duplicated with a new track laid to the north of the existing one. The line from Kingsgrove to Revesby was duplicated around the same time.
The Rail Clearways Program saw the station's role change significantly, with plans to considerably boost capacity of the East Hills line by creating two centre turnbacks at the station to replace a side turnback at East Hills, and quadruplicating the line from Kingsgrove to Revesby.
In 2006, construction commenced on a second island platform and a replacement footbridge. Platform 3 opened in December 2008, as the main platform to the west. The existing Platform 2 became a centre turnback with only a few services initially using the facility. In October 2009, a new timetable was introduced, and Revesby replaced East Hills as the major intermediate terminus.
In March 2010, construction began on a new commuter car park at Revesby. The car park has 720 spaces, including 15 accessible parking spaces. The car park was part of the Transport Access Program and construction concluded in April 2011.[2]
In April 2013, as part of the quadruplication of the line from Kingsgrove to Revesby, a new platform was constructed, which is now platform 4.
A new commuter car park is being planned at Revesby, as part of the government's $3 billion Infrastructure and Job Acceleration Fund. [3]
