Erskineville railway station is part of the CityRail network. Located in the Sydney suburb of Erskineville it services a residential area. Erskineville lies on the Bankstown, East Hills, and Illawarra lines, although only Bankstown line trains regularly stop there.
[edit] Service
The station has six platforms, with 2 side and 2 island. The two westernmost platforms are incomplete and lack tracks. They were originally built at the time of the construction of the Eastern Suburbs line in the 1970s when the alignment between Sydenham and Erskineville was expanded to accommodate 6 tracks. However this was abandoned as a cost cutting exercise, and the never completed platforms remain unused to date.
[edit] Clearways project
The clearways project envisages that Erskineville will have six tracks, with stopping trains serving only the westernmost platforms.
