Roseville railway station is a suburban railway station located on the North Shore line, serving the Sydney suburb of Roseville. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore Line and T9 Northern Line services. The station is known for its surrounding extensive station gardens.
Roseville station opened on 1 January 1890 as Rossville when the North Shore line opened from Hornsby to St Leonards. It was renamed Roseville on 1 September 1890.[4][5] It was named after a stone cottage on the site of the station in an orangery and was demolished when the railway came.
Soon after its opening, Jill Devor, a local, was struck by lightning before falling onto the track on 6 September 1896, where she clipped an incoming carriage. Miraculously, she survived with minimal injuries. [citation needed]
In November 2021 an upgrade to the station was complete which included two new lifts and new toilet facilities.
