History

Harris Park station opened in the late 1800s. [3] Originally built as two side platforms, both were rebuilt as island platforms during the quadruplication of the Granville to Westmead line in the mid-1980s. [4] On 2 November 1996, the Harris Park to Merrylands Y-Link opened allowing direct train operation between these two stations by what is now known as the Cumberland Line. [5]

On 30 June 2013, a landslide occurred and a retaining wall collapsed in heavy rain, burying one track and partially covering platform 4. [6] [7]

An accessibility upgrade, including lift access to the station, was announced in 2015. [8]
