St Leonards railway station is a station on the North Shore Line of Sydney's CityRail network. It is located in the Forum complex on the Pacific Highway in the Sydney suburb of St Leonards. The station has been through several incarnations. The original station opened in 1890[1] with the opening of the North Shore Line. For 12 years, from 1989 until 2000, the station was relocated to a temporary location south of the Pacific Highway overpass. The opening of the current station coincided with the opening of the Forum apartment building in 2000[2], which sits above and across the station, and has been built with provision for four tracks as part of future quadruplication plans. As of April 2005, there is a platform 2 (toward Central) and a platform 3 (toward Berowra).
