Mount Kuring-gai railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Northern Line, serving the Sydney suburb of Mount Kuring-gai. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore Line services and some early morning and late night NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services.

History

[edit]

Mount Kuring-gai station opened on 5 October 1901 as a passing loop named Kuring-gai. It was renamed Mount Kuring-gai on 1 August 1904, and in 1909 the present station was built when the Main Northern line was duplicated.[3][4]

The station was the terminating point for some services and had a signal box to facilitate these workings. It was removed in April 1988.[5]
