Summer Hill station opened on 15 September 1879. [3] [4] The Main Suburban line through Summer Hill was quadruplicated in 1892, [5] and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works. [6] [7]

As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform constructed on the most northern line. The latter was demolished as part of the 1927 works. [7]

In 2004, Summer Hill was provided with lift facilities which are accessed from the subway. Initial plans called for a new overhead footbridge to access the station however this was opposed by locals on both aesthetic and access grounds, and the plans were subsequently altered to the current arrangement. [8]
