Lilyfield light rail station
Lilyfield light rail station is a light rail station located on the Inner West Light Rail line, serving the Sydney suburb of Lilyfield. It is served by Sydney Light Rail L1 Dulwich Hill Line services. The stop opened on 13 August 2000 with the line's extension, becoming its terminus until 2014. The station is located at the edge of a wide cutting, beneath the City West Link road which passes overhead.[1] Lilyfield Maintenance Depot is located adjacent to it. HistoryLilyfield station opened on 13 August 2000 in conjunction with the Wentworth Park-Lilyfield extension of the Inner West Light Rail. It lies along the corridor of the former Rozelle–Darling Harbour Goods Line which opened in 1922. A junction connecting to a short branch line from Lilyfield to Rozelle existed west of the former Rozelle Rail Yards, which are adjacent to the station.[2][3] The station and its surrounds saw redevelopment in the 2010s. In 2009, goods traffic on the line between Rozelle and Dulwich Hill ceased and in February 2010 the Keneally Government announced a 5.6-kilometre (3.5 mi) extension of the light rail from Lilyfield to Dulwich Hill.[4] A stabling facility for four carriages was built to the west of the stop.[5] A second platform was added for services towards Dulwich Hill. The Dulwich Hill extension opened in 2014. Services
