History

Canterbury station opened on 1 February 1895 when the Bankstown line opened from Sydenham to Belmore.

To the north of the station, lie two tracks that are part of the Metropolitan Goods Line. The westbound line has a platform face, however this has been fenced off. A platform on the eastbound line was demolished in 1995. These were previously used for raceday specials when Canterbury Park Racecourse was operating. Several sidings were located just beyond the station for stabling raceday trains.
