History

Ashfield station opened on 26 September 1855 as part of the original Sydney to Parramatta line. [3] [4] [5]

In 2002, the station was largely rebuilt with a new concrete aerial concourse and most of the platform buildings were demolished. [5] Before completion of those facilities, the platforms were accessed from two pedestrian subways which incorporated separate booking offices. The western subway remains as a pedestrian thoroughfare.

In May 2018 Ashfield became the first station in New South Wales to have the OpalPay Park & Ride facility installed. [6]

Platforms and services

The station has five platforms (two city bound, two outward bound, and one used as a turnback to the city).
