History

St Leonards station opened on 1 January 1890 as the terminus station of the North Shore line from Hornsby. [3] On 1 May 1893, the line was extended south to Milsons Point.

In August 1989, the station was relocated to a temporary station south of the Pacific Highway to allow the site to be redeveloped. [4] After the redevelopment encountered financial problems and remained dormant for a number of years, the new station was not completed until February 2000 as part of The Forum shopping plaza development. [5]

The new station was built with two island platforms to allow extra lines to be laid as part of a plan to quadruple the line.

Up Siding

N↓ To Artamon

There is an unwired siding linked to the up track. It is equipped with catch points, and is 205m long (of which 168m is usable, enough to stable an 8-car suburban train). The points are manually operated by a lever next to the track. This also means the signals, which are controlled from Homebush Control Centre, cannot permit a movement to or from the siding. Additionally, as the points cannot be controlled by the signaller, any driver on the up track passing a signal at stop must proceed with caution, making sure there are no trains moving in or out of the siding. [10] Although long enough for an 8 car suburban train, it is not electrified and generally used for track work vehicles on occasions.
