Parramatta station is one of Sydney's oldest. Sydney's first line connected Sydney and Parramatta Junction near Granville and opened on 26 September 1855. It was extended to the current Parramatta station on 4 July 1860.[1]
Prior to the Main Western line being quadrupled from Granville to Westmeadin 1985, the station consisted of four platforms, platforms 3 and 4 on the main line and 1 and 2 on a loop.[2]
In 1985, the station was refurbished with a new underground subway bus interchange built at the station's north-east station.[3]
In late 2003, work began on a new transport interchange which linked the station to the neighbouring Westfield Parramatta shopping centre. The works included upgrading the station, providing more access to commuters, and constructing a new bus interchange. On 19 February 2006 the interchange was opened.
