Lewisham railway station is a suburban railway station located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Lewisham. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Leppington & Inner West Line and T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line services.
Lewisham station opened in 1886.[4] The Main Suburban line through Lewisham was quadruplicated in 1892,[5] and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works.[6]
As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform constructed on the most northern line. The former was trimmed back to a single platform, and the latter demolished as part of the 1927 works. In September 1990, Lewisham closed for three months as the first station that CityRail upgraded.[7]
An easy access upgrade to the station will commence in 2024.[8]
