Flemington railway station is located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Flemington. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Inner West & Leppington line services. Due to the naming dispute of the suburb and the importance of the neighbouring Sydney Markets, the station has been proposed to be renamed as Sydney Markets railway station.[1]
History
Flemington station opened in 1884. On 25 May 1924, it was relocated further west to its present site when the Main Suburban line was quadrupled from Homebush to Lidcombe.[2][3]
From 1923 until 1972, extensive cattle yards existed opposite the station to the north.[3][4] This was redeveloped as the Sydney Markets in 1975. It included railway sidings for produce trains. These have since been decommissioned. When Enfield Yard was closed for redevelopment in the mid-1990s, the sidings became a locomotive changeover point for freight trains.[5]
The suburb of Flemington, south of the station, has long been residential. The suburb of Flemington has since been officially renamed "Homebush West", although this name is only really used as a technical term for the houses above the station.
An upgrade to the station was planned from 2014 and works completed in 2018, resulting in the replacement of the historic concourse with a new one with lift access to the platforms.[6]
To the west of the station is the Flemington Maintenance Depot where the Olympic Park line branches off. Between the station and the Sydney Markets lie two tracks exclusively used by freight trains travelling between the Main North line and the Metropolitan Goods line.[7]
Description
Flemington railway station consists of two island platforms. The northern one (platforms numbered 1 and 2) is not in regular use, and regular scheduled services only use the southern island platform (numbered 3 and 4). Stairs and lifts connect the platforms to an overhead concourse. The main village commercial centre of Flemington is south of the station, and the concourse descends to street level here via stairs and a lift. To the north of the station is the large market complex of Sydney Markets at the Flemington locality. The concourse is connected to the markets on the north side via a long, elevated walkway which spans across the freight line tracks and former goods sidings and continues into the market complex.
