History

East Hills station opened on 21 December 1931 when the line was extended from Kingsgrove.^[3] It served as the terminus of the line until it was extended to Glenfield on 21 December 1987.^[4]

A new station was built south-east of the original station as part of the extension opening in August 1987 with the original station closed and demolished.^[5] Following the extension, East Hills became the main intermediate terminus and an interchange point between all stops and limited stops trains. In addition to the two through tracks (platforms 2 and 3), a side terminating track (platform 1) was provided. A new centre turnback at Revesby opened in 2009 as part of the Rail Clearways Program, which ended East Hills' role as the primary intermediate terminus.

The station was upgraded and received lifts in April 2022.
