Eastwood railway station is a suburban railway station located on the Main North line, serving the Sydney suburb of Eastwood. It is served by Sydney Trains T9 Northern Line services.

History The station opened as Dundas on 17 September 1886 on the single track line. It was renamed Eastwood on 1 September 1887.Eastwood Station" NSWrail.net The line through Eastwood was subsequently duplicated and has since been quadruplicated. In 2004, the platforms were extended towards Epping to allow 8-car V sets to service the platforms.

The station subway is accessible by non-paying members of the public, although this was separated from the station concourse by a fence. In February 2007, the fence was removed to allow construction of smartcard readers for the Tcard system.

In March 2006 it was revealed, that asbestos fibre had been disturbed by contractors installing cabling for the Tcard project in the roof of the ticketing office at the station. The station offices were temporarily closed and replaced by a temporary booking office in the station carpark.Asbestos scare spreads to city rail station Sydney Morning Herald 9 March 2006

Intercity Central Coast & Newcastle Line trains previously also served the station until the 30 September 2018 timetable change, when the service was altered to no longer stop here.
