Eastwood railway station is located on the Main North railway line in the suburb of Eastwood in the northern suburbs of Sydney, Australia. It is serviced by suburban trains of the Sydney Trains North Shore, Northern & Western Line and is a stop for NSW TrainLink Intercity services on the Central Coast & Newcastle Line.
History
The station opened on 17 September 1886 on the single track line, named 'Dundas'. It was renamed Eastwood on 1 September 1887. The line through Eastwood was subsequently duplicated and has since been quadruplicated. In 2004 the platforms were extended towards Epping to allow 8-car Intercity trains to service the platforms.
Accessibility and exits
The two island platforms are connected to a subway by stairs, which is reachable from West Parade at ground level, and from East Parade via a ramp. The station subway also has access for non-paying members of the public, although this was separated from the station concourse by a fence. In February 2007, this fence has been fully removed to allow construction of smartcard readers for the new TCard system and as part of a refurbishment/renovation of the entire station. Eastwood has Easy Access for wheelchairs created as part of the refurbishment/renovation.
