Arncliffe railway station is located on the Illawarra line, serving the Sydney suburb of Arncliffe. It is served by Sydney Trains T4 line services.
History
Arncliffe station opened on 15 October 1884 on the same date as the Illawarra line from Redfern to Hurstville with two side platforms.[1]
In 1906, the northbound platform was converted to an island with a new northbound track. The former northbound track (current Platform 2) became the southbound track, with the former southbound platform (current Platform 3) disused until it too was converted to an island platform in 1923 as part of the quadruplication of the Illawarra line from Wolli Creek to Rockdale. A 60-metre tunnel length existed to the south of the station, but was opened out and a bridge to carry Forest Road built in 1923.[2][3]
In May 2015, work commenced on the construction of a pedestrian tunnel below the Illawarra line 300 metres north of the station.[4] In mid-2015, work to install four new lifts at Arncliffe station will commence.[5]
