Homebush railway station is located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Homebush. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Inner West & South line services. ==History== Homebush station opened on 26 September 1855 when the Main Suburban line opened.〔(Homebush Station ) NSWrail.net〕〔(Homebush Railway Station Group ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕 The station was expanded to six platforms when the line between Redfern and Homebush was sextupled in the 1920s. On 9 October 1994, a large fire destroyed the original heritage-listed buildings on platforms 3 and 4,〔"Homebush Station...Then & Now" ''Railway Digest'' November 1994 page 13〕 they were later rebuilt as a simpler structure. During the Sydney 2000 Olympics, the station was closed to avoid confusion with the nearby Olympic Park station. Olympic Park is located near Homebush Bay.〔"Olympic Games Special Services" ''Railway Digest'' October 2000 page 18〕 Under the CityRail Clearways Project, an additional platform (Platform 7) was built to the south, with tracks rearranged to create a turnback at platform 6. This turnback platform enabled all stations trains to be terminated clear of the running lines and create extra capacity between Homebush and Lidcombe.〔(Homebush Turnback Project Profile ) Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation〕 On 20 October 2013, a new timetable was introduced which saw Homebush become the terminus for T2 Inner West line services to and from the city. As a result, only a few weekday T2 South line services connect with Flemington and points west. Previously Homebush had been served by T3 Bankstown line services.〔(Bankstown Line timetable ) Sydney Trains〕 An accessibility upgrade, including lift access to the station, was announced in 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/budget-delivers-more-accessible-public-transport )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Homebush railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
