Prior to October 2013, the station was served by Inner West Line trains operating between the city and Liverpool via Lidcombe, and Bankstown Line services generally continued through Regents Park north to Lidcombe and then through to the city as Inner West Line services. This operating pattern was discontinued in 2013 with the construction of an additional platform at Lidcombe to allow Bankstown line services to turnback there.

The so-called Bankstown circle service which operates through Regents Park via Strathfield and via Sydenham is actually an operational nuisance when trying to operate a memory timetable at 15 minute intervals. The problem is that the running time around the circle is rarely an exact multiple of 15 minutes. The solution proposed by the [[CityRail Clearways Project|Clearways Project]] is to break the circle at Homebush and Lidcombe so that trains will shuttle between [[Homebush railway station|Homebush]] via Strathfield, City Circle, Sydenham, Bankstown, Regents Park and [[Lidcombe railway station|Lidcombe]]. The shuttle times can be rounded up to the next multiple of 15 minutes by adjusting the turnback times at Lidcombe and Homebush.

Prior to October 2013, the station was served by Inner West Line trains operating between the city and Liverpool via Lidcombe, and Bankstown Line services generally continued through Regents Park north to Lidcombe and then through to the city as Inner West Line services.
