History

The original plans for the North West Rail Link showed a station called Hills Centre, after the complex of civic buildings of the same name. This was to have been constructed on the site of the Castle Hill Showground. Following community consultation, it was determined that the station would be moved to the Hills Centre site – requiring its demolition – in order to retain the Showground. The station was renamed as a result.

Services

Hills Showground has two platforms. It is served by Metro North West Line services.[5][6] Hills Showground station is served by a number of bus routes operated by Busways and Hillsbus.[7]
