History
Bexley North railway station opened in 1931 as part of the East Hills railway line between Tempe and East Hills. Bexley North station had been double track and electrified since its opening until 2000 when the Wolli Creek to Kingsgrove quadruplication was completed. The station now has an island platform serving the 'Up and Down East Hills Local' tracks, and an express track on either side, the 'Up and Down East Hills Main' lines.

“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
