History

The station opened on 20 January 1956, and its construction completed the City Circle railway as originally envisaged by Bradfield making it the newest station on the line. There have been various proposals to relocate the station underground in conjunction with the demolition of the Cahill Expressway, however these have not come to fruition. In 2006 RailCorp performed maintenance and cleaning of the station's 50 year old facade. Tenders have been called for a major refurbishment in 2007, including new lighting, toilets and an upgrade of the ticket office and shopfront facades.^[1] is the 20th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...
