History

Pymble station opened on 1 January 1890 when the North Shore line opened from Hornsby to St Leonards. [3] The station was named after Robert Pymble who came from Herefordshire in 1821. He sold a part of his 600 acre estate which was granted to him in 1823 for capturing a bushranger which was built by convicts. When the line was opened, the kitchen of his old homestead was used as the ticket office, and the dining room as the waiting room. In those days hurricane lamps were left at the station in the morning to light travellers home at night. The cottage of one of Pymble's sons, James (a bachelor), was removed to make way for the railway, and was afterwards the home of a sergeant of police who was shot by an orchardist on 1 May 1913.

The present island platform and station building were completed in 1909 in when the line was duplicated. [4] In March 2021, plans to improve the accessibility of the station were approved. [5] The upgrade featured three lifts, footpath upgrades, new handrails, and other features. The upgrade was completed in 2023. [6]
