History
Panania station opened in 1931 with the opening of the East Hills railway line from Tempe to East Hills. It initially consisted of an island platform serving a single track on the 'down' (or away from Sydney) direction. A track was provided on the 'up' (towards Sydney) side in 1985. The station building was of brick construction in the standard style of stations on the East Hills line, the ticket window originally faced platform 1 (serving trains towards Sydney), however this was later moved to face the entrance to the station. Access to the station was originally via a pedestrian level crossing over the tracks, but this was replaced by a long footbridge in the 1950s. The station building has recently been painted in the current cream and green CityRail station colour scheme.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
