Waitara railway station

1

Waitara railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the North Shore line, serving the Sydney suburb of Waitara. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore line services.

History

Waitara station opened on 20 April 1895. The original station was replaced by the present structure in 1909 when the line was duplicated. Waitara is one of a very few stations in Australia to have the origins of the name come from a Māori word; it means "pure water". It was suggested to the Railway Commissioner by Myles McRae, who had owned land at Hurstville called "Waitara," which he had purchased from G. B. Walker, a manager of a land company. The station was upgraded with a new underpass constructed at the northern end of the station and a lift built, in February 2024.
