The NSW Government announced a future railway line to Castle Hill as part of its Action for Public Transport strategy in 1998.[6] A more specific but longer-term plan presented by Co-ordinator General of Rail Ron Christie three years later included a 'Mungerie Park Line', with a station at Norwest Business Park.[7] In the years that followed, Norwest Station formed part of successive north-western rail proposals, including the Metropolitan Rail Expansion Plan in 2005 and a short-lived metro proposal in 2008.[8]
Following a change of government, work on the North West Rail Link commenced in 2013.[9] As part of the approved proposal, an additional station, Bella Vista, was added within the business park. The new station opened in 26 May 2019. The station is operated by Metro Trains Sydney, which was also responsible for the design of the station as part of its Operations, Trains and Systems contract with Transport for NSW.[10][11][12]
Norwest has two platforms. It is served by Metro North West & Bankstown Line services.[10][13] Norwest station is served by a number of bus routes operated by Busways and CDC NSW.[14]
