Liverpool railway station is located on the Main South line, serving the Sydney suburb of Liverpool. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Inner West & South, T3 Bankstown and T5 Cumberland services.
History
The town (now suburb) of Liverpool on the Georges River was one of the earliest settlements of the colony of New South Wales. The station opened on 26 September 1856 and was an early terminus of the Main South line.[1] Immediately north of Liverpool station, a former branch line crossed the Georges River and entered the Holsworthy military base. The pylons for the bridge over the river have been reused to provide a pedestrian walkway.
In 1929, the line from Central was electrified. Liverpool remained the terminating point for electric services until the wires were extended to Campbelltown in 1968. It was also a calling point for regional services until the 1990s.
In 1965, one person was killed and three were injured when a freight train collided with a stationary electric passenger train at Liverpool station.[2]
In 2000, the station underwent a major easy access upgrade with the provision of passenger lifts to the platforms, a new passenger concourse, toilets and a refurbishment of the heritage building on platform 1.[3]
The Southern Sydney Freight Line passes to the east of the station. It opened in January 2013. Around the same time, a new platform for southbound services was constructed as part of the Rail Clearways Program. Platform 4 opened in January 2014.[4][5] Previously platform 2 was the main southbound platform with platform 3 used for turnbacks.
Platforms and services
The station has four platforms. Platforms 1 and 4 serve the Airport, Inner West & South and Cumberland lines, and platforms 2 and 3 serve as a terminus for Bankstown line trains and Leppington shuttle services.
