Chester Hill railway station is a heritage-listed railway station on the Main Southern railway line in the Sydney suburb of Chester Hill. It is served by Sydney Trains' T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line services.
History
Chester Hill station opened on 8 October 1924 when the Main Southern railway line was extended from Regents Park to Cabramatta.[http://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Chester+Hill Chester Hill Station] NSWrail.net[http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDetails.aspx?ID=4801050 Chester Hill Railway Station Group] NSW Environment & Heritage
To the south of the station lies the Southern Sydney Freight Line, which opened in January 2013.
Platforms and services
Historically, eastbound services connected Chester Hill to the City Circle via {{rwsa|Lidcombe}} and the Main Suburban railway line. Between 2013 and 2024, eastbound services from Chester Hill to the City Circle ran only via an alternate route along the Bankstown railway line.{{cite web |author=Transport for NSW |author-link=Transport for NSW |date=December 2020 |title=West of Bankstown rail services in 2024 |url=https://yoursay.transport.nsw.gov.au/52978/widgets/275770/documents/189214 |publisher=NSW Government |access-date=1 November 2024}} Following the partial closure of the Bankstown railway line for Sydney Metro conversion in 2024, this situation reverted. Now eastbound services from Chester Hill operate to the City Circle via Lidcombe again, branded as the T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line.{{cite web |author=Transport for NSW |author-link=Transport for NSW |date=October 2024 |title=Train and bus timetable changes FAQs: 2024 train and bus timetable |url=https://transportnsw.info/document/7612/Public-transport-changes-frequently-asked-questions-October-2024-WCAG2.pdf |publisher=NSW Government |access-date=1 November 2024}}
