History

Summer Hill station opened on 15 September 1879.[2][3] The Main Suburban line through Summer Hill was quadruplicated in 1892,[4] and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works.[5][6]

As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform constructed on the most northern line. The latter was demolished as part of the 1927 works.[6]

In 2004, Summer Hill was provided with lift facilities which are accessed from the subway. Initial plans called for a new overhead footbridge to access the station however this was opposed by locals on both aesthetic and access grounds, and the plans were subsequently altered to the current arrangement.[7]
