History
Pennant Hills station opened on 17 September 1886.[3] Immediately north of Pennant Hills, a short four track section of the Main Northern line begins which runs to the next station at Thornleigh.[4]
The present day footbridge was built in May 1991 with a standard non-enclosed design and an awning covering the entire structure. However, it was modified shortly later around 1995-1998 to include lift shafts and glass panels enclosing the structure. As a result Pennant Hills received an easy access upgrade, becoming one of the first low-patronage stations in Sydney to receive wheelchair access, along with Waverton. The footbridge was modified for a third time in 2016, with the western most lift shaft modernised at the base, a third lift shaft constructed, and new stairs constructed to the platform. Nearby Thornleigh and Normanhurst did not receive wheelchair access until 2023.
As part of the North Sydney Freight Corridor project, an electrified passing loop was built behind the western platform where it joined the existing loop. As part of these works the western platform was converted to an island.[5][6][7][8] The new platform opened on 14 June 2016.[9]
