History
As a long-standing major commercial area in Sydney's east, a railway line had long been considered to Bondi Junction. The suburb was variously proposed to been the intermediate or the ultimate terminus of an Eastern Suburbs Railway since 1916. In 1967 tenders were awarded for the actual construction of the Eastern Suburbs Railway as far as Bondi Junction. Construction began shortly thereafter.
