Platforms and services[edit]
Historically Chester Hill was served by services from the city and Lidcombe operating to Liverpool. This changed in the early 2000s, when most services to Liverpool were altered to operate via Bankstown. Today Chester Hill is served by T3 Bankstown line services terminating at Liverpool and three Liverpool – City via Strathfield services on weekdays. The NSW Government Future Transport Strategy 2056 (November 2020 Edition) includes Chester Hill as the interchange station on the proposed Parramatta to Kogarah via Bankstown line.[5]
