History

The station in 1870

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.

Prior to the Main Western line being quadrupled from Granville to Westmead in 1985, the station consisted of four platforms, platforms 3 and 4 on the main line and 1 and 2 on a loop.

In 1985, the station was refurbished with a new underground subway bus interchange built at the station's north-east side.

In late 2003, work began on a new transport interchange which linked the station to the neighbouring Westfield Parramatta shopping centre. The works included extending the platforms on the western end and providing a new taller shelter with lifts and tactile indicators along the platform, providing more access to commuters, and constructing a new bus interchange. On 19 February 2006 the interchange was opened.

In October 2016, the Parramatta Turnback Project was completed, adding crossovers to allow trains to terminate on platforms 3–4 in either direction.

The Darcy Street entrance to the station was closed from 1 September 2018 to late 2019 while improvements were being made to the station.

Parramatta metro station will be located around a block to the north of the current station and is planned to open in 2032.
