Westmead is a railway station on the Main Western line of the Sydney Trains network. It serves the suburb of Westmead and the local hospital precinct. Station entry is from a concourse off Railway Parade and Alexandra Avenue.

Westmead is staffed 24 hours everyday.[1]

History

Westmead station opened in March 1883. To the east of the station lies a dive for the Up Main track. This was opened in 1986 when the line was quadruplicated. This is built because the track arrangement changes as follows:

↑ West
Up Main, Up Suburban, Down Suburban, Down Main
Up Suburban, Down Suburban, Up Main, Down Main
↓ East

Between 1922 and 1932, the Rogans Hill line branched from the Main Western line immediately to the west of Westmead station.

Sydney Metro Upgrade

Westmead will be undergoing an upgrade to accommodate the Sydney Metro West rapid-transit network. Two underground platforms to the south of the station site will be built starting in 2020, with a new concourse connecting the train and Metro platforms.
