[edit] Platforms/Service
The station is served by two trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.
Platform 1
- Northern Line - all stations and limited stops services (via the City) to North Sydney, then Lindfield, Gordon, or Hornsby via the North Shore Line.
Platform 2
- Northern Line - services to Hornsby.
[edit] Accessibility
The station has street access to both platforms, connected by a road overbridge, giving it de facto Easy Access for wheelchairs, except for the problem of the gap and step between train and platform, the platforms being on a curve.
[edit] Future
Cheltenham is expected to be upgraded to four tracks and platforms once the North West Rail Link is completed in 2017, as the line between Epping and Beecroft will be quadruplicated.[1]
