Mount Colah railway station is a suburban railway station located on the Main Northern line, serving the Sydney suburb of Mount Colah. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore Line services and some early morning and late night intercity Central Coast & Newcastle Line services.

History

[edit]

Mount Colah station opened on 1 July 1887 as Colah. It was renamed Mount Colah on 6 May 1906.[3]

The station received a new concrete footbridge with three lifts, tactile indicators, a new station building and an accessible bathroom as part of an upgrade to replace the former footbridge at the northern end of the station, in August 2024.
