Normanhurst railway station is a suburban railway station located on the Main Northern line, serving the Sydney suburb of Normanhurst. It is served by Sydney Trains T9 Northern Line services.
History
Normanhurst station opened on 21 November 1895 as Hornsby. On 1 May 1898, it was renamed Normanhurst to avoid confusion with the present day Hornsby station, then known as Hornsby Junction.[3]
On 5 February 1923 a fire occurred on Platform 2, severely damaging the platform. However, it was extinguished before spreading further.[4]
The station was upgraded during 2023 as part of the Transport Access Program, a NSW Government initiative planning to improve accessibility on the Sydney Trains network.[5]
