History

Riverwood station opened on 21 December 1931 as Herne Bay when the line was extended from Kingsgrove to East Hills. The line was duplicated from Kingsgrove in 1948. It was renamed Riverwood on 10 March 1958.[2][3]

On 5 May 1986, the line was duplicated from Riverwood to Padstow with a new track laid to the north of the existing one.[4]

In 2013, as part of the quadruplication of the line from Kingsgrove to Revesby, through lines were added on either side of the existing pair.[5]
