History

Lewisham station opened in 1886. The Main Suburban line through Lewisham was quadruplicated in 1892, and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works.

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.

Sydney Buses operate one route via Lewisham station:

  • 413: King Street wharf to Campsie station
  • Lewisham station is served by one NightRide route:

  • N50: Liverpool to City (Town Hall)
  • The Light Rail's Lewisham West stop is located 300 metres south-west of Lewisham station.
