East Hills railway station is located on the East Hills line, serving the Sydney suburb of East Hills. It is served by Sydney Trains' T8 Airport & South Line services.
East Hills station opened on 21 December 1931 when the line was extended from Kingsgrove. [3] It served as the terminus of the line until it was extended to Glenfield on 21 December 1987. [4]
A new station was built south-east of the original station as part of the extension opening in August 1987 with the original station closed and demolished. [5] Following the extension, East Hills became the main intermediate terminus and an interchange point between all stops and limited stops trains. In addition to the two through tracks (platforms 2 and 3), a side terminating track (platform 1) was provided. A new centre turnback at Revesby opened in 2009 as part of the Rail Clearways Program, which ended East Hills' role as the primary intermediate terminus.
The station was upgraded and received lifts in April 2022.

The Rail Clearways Programme was conceived in 2004 with the aim of easing congestion of Sydney's suburban railway network, by reducing the amount of infrastructure shared by multiple services. The disparate projects at pinch points throughout the network were designed to increase passenger capacity and improve reliability. All projects were delivered by the Transport Construction Authority until it was subsumed in November 2011 by Transport for New South Wales. A new timetable was introduced in October 2013 that realised the benefit of many of the projects, and by January 2014—the programme was complete.
