It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History Marrickville station opened on 1 February 1895 when the Bankstown line opened from Sydenham to Belmore. When the station opened, it consisted only of the island platform. In 1916, the station's platforms were reconstructed with a new platform, now platform 2, built to the south of the island platform and the northern side of the island platform closed to make way for the Metropolitan Goods Line. The station has retained this set-up to date. The line through the station was electrified in 1926. The booking office on Platform 2 underwent alterations in 1944. New stairs down from Illawarra Road were built in 1985. In June 2016, an upgrade was completed with lifts and a new concourse built. During this work, the stairs to platform 1 were closed and replaced with a temporary footbridge from platform 2. Both platforms can be accessed from New Illawara Rd via the new concourse. Even though a concourse was built, the station remains ungated. Platforms & services Marrickville is a fairly major station on the Bankstown line.
