Beverly Hills railway station is located on the East Hills line, serving the Sydney suburb of Beverly Hills. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Airport line services.

History

Beverly Hills station opened on 21 December 1931 as Dumbleton when the line was extended from Kingsgrove to East Hills. It was renamed Beverly Hills on 24 August 1940.[1] The line through the station was duplicated in 1948.[2]

Beverly Hills is unique amongst original East Hills Line stations as it is the only station with asymmetrical platforms, that is, Platform 1 is curved but Platform 2 is straight. It was one of the last stations in Sydney to use Edmondson-style paper tickets.[3]

In 2013, as part of the quadruplication of the line from Kingsgrove to Revesby, through lines were added on either side of the existing pair.[4]
