Lidcombe railway station is located on the Main Suburban line, serving the Sydney suburb of Lidcombe. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 Western, T2 South, T3 Bankstown and T7 Olympic line services. ==History== Lidcombe station opened on 1 November 1858 as Haslams Creek after local landowner, Samuel Haslam. When in 1867 land was set aside for a cemetery nearby, the residents renamed the locality Rookwood. The official name of the station was changed in 1878. By the turn of the century the Necropolis was also called Rookwood, so on 1 January 1914 the station name was renamed again to Lidcombe.〔(Lidcombe Station ) NSWrail.net〕〔(Lidcombe Railway Station Group ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕 On 11 November 1912, Lidcombe became a junction station, with the opening of a deviation of the Main South line to Regents Park. On 23 April 1999, Platform 0 was opened as part of the Olympic Park line project.〔"Olympic Sprint Platform Enters Service" ''Railway Digest'' June 1999 page 10〕 As part of this work, the station was refurbished and a second footbridge added at the eastern end.〔 In 2010, an extra dock platform for terminating City via Bankstown trains was opened. This was built as part of the CityRail Clearways Project which was intended to untangle the various lines and make the network simpler to operate. In conjunction with a companion project at Homebush, operation of the Bankstown line was separated from the former Inner West line in October 2013. The changes resulted in the discontinuation of almost all services to Liverpool via Regents Park. 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「Lidcombe railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
