Ashfield railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Suburban line, serving the suburb of Ashfield, in Sydney, Australia. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Leppington & Inner West Line and T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line services.
History
Ashfield station opened on 26 September 1855 as part of the original Sydney to Parramatta line.
In 2002, the station was largely rebuilt with a new concrete aerial concourse and most of the platform buildings were demolished. Before completion of those facilities, the platforms were accessed from two pedestrian subways which incorporated separate booking offices. The western subway remains as a pedestrian thoroughfare.
In May 2018 Ashfield became the first station in New South Wales to have the OpalPay Park & Ride facility installed.
Platforms and services
The station has five platforms (two city bound, two outward bound, and one used as a turnback to the city).
