Opening in 1886, this station lies on the Northern line leading from Berowra in the north through to North Sydney station via Strathfield and Central. In recent years the station has undergone an upgrade. It has significant patronage due to the people of neighbouring suburbs Cherrybrook and West Pennant Hills utilising it.

Immediately north of Pennant Hills, a four track section of the Main North line begins which runs to the next station of Thornleigh.

Trivia

Platform 1 used to be a little bit too short- when 8-car trains stopped, the furthest door to the back actually stopped off the platform, however passengers could exit through that door onto the sloping edge of the platform. In 2010 this was rectified due to the number of people catch the train's rear carriage to give them a hope of making the interchange at Epping onto the express trains on the Newcastle and Central Coast line.
