History
Hurlstone Park station opened on 1 February 1895 as Fern Hill when the Bankstown line opened from Sydenham to Belmore. It was renamed Hurlstone Park on 19 August 1911.[3][4]
To the north of the station, lie two tracks that are part of the Metropolitan Goods line. The westbound line has a platform face, this was taken out of use when the Metropolitan Goods line was built in 1915.[4]
The station was upgraded and received lifts and tactile indicators in 2023 in preparation for the line’s conversion to Sydney Metro in 2025.
