Marrickville Station

About Marrickville Station

Customers at Marrickville Station will have a new air-conditioned metro train every four minutes in the peak – that’s 15 trains an hour. Marrickville Station is currently serviced by eight trains an hour in the morning peak.

The station will be upgraded with level access between platforms and trains and platform screen doors to keep people and objects away from the tracks. The existing lifts and entrances will be retained.

A Station Design and Precinct Plan (SDPP) has been prepared for Marrickville Station that shows how the new station design has developed and how it will integrate with the surrounding precinct. The summary document details key improvements.

Planning and compliance

Sydney Metro received planning approval on 19 December 2018 to upgrade the T3 Bankstown Line between Sydenham and Bankstown to metro standards.

The Submissions and Preferred Infrastructure Report for the Sydenham to Bankstown Metro upgrade was on exhibition until 18 July 2018.

An unincorporated joint venture of Haslin Constructions Pty Limited and Stephen Edwards Constructions Pty Ltd. has been awarded the contract to upgrade Marrickville, Canterbury and Lakemba stations on the more than 125-year-old T3 Bankstown Line to metro rail standards.
