Summer Hill station opened on 15 September 1879.[3][4] The Main Suburban line through Summer Hill was quadruplicated in 1892,[5] and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works.[6][7]
As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform constructed on the most northern line. The latter was demolished as part of the 1927 works.[7]
In 2004, Summer Hill was provided with lift facilities which are accessed from the subway. Initial plans called for a new overhead footbridge to access the station however this was opposed by locals on both aesthetic and access grounds, and the plans were subsequently altered to the current arrangement.[8]
