Passenger services on the Abattoirs line were operated by CPH railmotors operating from Sandown via Lidcombe until November 1984. After this, Pippita (now as the terminus) was served by single-deck suburban electric trains known as "Red Rattlers".[6] Pippita continued to be served by a sole daily service to Central until 20 October 1995, operated in its later days by a V set.[7]

Pippita station served the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation factory located in Lidcombe.[citation needed][8]

In 2020, public transport groups EcoTransit Sydney and Restore Inner West Line proposed the reconstruction of Pippita station as part of a new express service between Lidcombe and Central.[9][10]
