Killara railway station is located on the CityRail North Shore Line in the suburb of Killara. The station opened nine years after the North Shore line opened, with a single platform designed for conversion to an island platform once duplication arrived. As the station is connected to the adjacent streets on either side via stairs, Easy Access is not available for wheelchairs.

[edit] Previous services

In the May 2006 timetable change, frequency at Killara station was increased from four trains an hour to four to six trains an hour, in the off peak and on weekends due to redevelopment works at North Sydney station, so it makes it six to eight trains per four between Milsons Point station and Lindfield station and four to six trains per four between Killara station and Gordon station. In the October 2009 timetable change, stations in the Ku-ring-gai region have had significant service cuts, as outbound services are diverted to the Northern Line at Chatswood. Killara station has had a cut in weekday services by 17.3%, reflected in a reduced frequency of four trains per hour in each direction during off peak hours.

[edit] Platforms and services

The station is served by four trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.
