Blacktown railway station is located on the Main Western line, and serves the Sydney suburb of Blacktown. It is serviced by the T1 and T5, as well as NSW TrainLink TfNSW BML and Regional Western line services.

Blacktown is staffed 24 hours everyday.[1]

History[]

Blacktown station opened on 2 July 1860 as Blacktown Road with the construction of the Main Western line.

Captain Martindale, the colony's chief engineer was not happy with work done by contractor John Gibbons and refused to issue a certificate for work done. Not happy with the decision Gibbons told his men to remove three portions of the track near Parramatta. He was arrested and placed in the Parramatta Watch House before being released on bail. Two days later the first train ran into Black Town Road station. The station was renamed Blacktown on 1 August 1862.

The station received a major rebuild in the 1990s to a modern glass and steel structure with the addition of an extra platform and the provision of lift access to all platforms. It was opened on 14 October 1995 by Prime Minister Paul Keating. A bus interchange was also built in the triangle between the Main Western and Richmond lines.

Upgrades[]

Under the Transport Access Program, Blacktown station has undergone two upgrades.

From May 2010 to July 2011 a brand new multi-storey commuter car park was built near Blacktown station. This car park included around 500 car spaces and included lifts, security lighting, and CCTV surveillance.[2]

In 2018, Blacktown station received another overhaul. The upgrade introduced a new pedestrian footbridge linking the Richmond Line Concourse with the main Concourse. Lifts and stairs were also added from platform 3 to access the footbridge. Other addtions include: new stairs and weather protection canopies to platforms 1 and 2 and "changes to station facilities to improve customer flow." These upgrades were completed in late 2018.[3]
