History
The original Beecroft station opened on 17 September 1886 approximately adjacent to the current Beecroft tennis courts, relocating north to its present site on 7 Match 1892.[1][2] The disused down platform was demolished in the early 1990s. A disused dock platform for produce was located to the west of the platform.
As part of the North Sydney Freight Corridor project, an electrified passing loop is being built to the west of the station.[3][4][5][6]
Platforms & services
The station is served by four trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours. During off-peak hours two of these four train services towards Central terminate at Chatswood.[7]
