Strathfield railway station is located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Strathfield. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore, Northern & Western Line and T2 Inner West & South Line services and NSW TrainLink Intercity and regional services.
History
The first station opened on 9 July 1876 as Redmyre. It was renamed Strathfield on 8 March 1885.[1][2]
As part of the electrification of the Sydney network, the station was rebuilt, opening on 7 March 1927. This included an overpass to take the Main Northern line over the Main Suburban line.[3] In addition, a platform and building was erected at the southern end of platform 8 which provided a mortuary receiving facility.[4] This was subsequently converted to a store for the railway refreshment room on the station.[2][5]
Rail traffic in the Strathfield area has been controlled from Strathfield signal box, which is actually situated at Homebush, since 1983. Signalling at Strathfield is controlled by an entrance-exit (NX) route control panel with an early automatic route setting (ARS) system, which was manufactured by Westinghouse in the United Kingdom. This system is connected to double light colour light signals and electro-pneumatic switch machines on the ground. The 1926-vintage power box, which had a Westinghouse miniature lever frame, still stands to the west end of platform 8.
Platforms & services
The station has eight platforms, with the northern platforms (1–3) serving NSW Trainlink trains; (4–6) serving the T1 North Shore, Northern & Western Line and the southern platforms (7–8) serving the T2 Inner West & South Line.
