Access

The original wooden ticket office above the station was demolished after it was heavily damaged by fire and replaced by a modern metal and glass structure. The station was subject to an 'Easy Access upgrade' in 2006, installing two elevators for less mobile patrons to get from the street to the top of the station, and an elevator in the middle which brings patrons down to the island platform. At the eastern end of the station, a road bridge carries Lakemba's main shopping street, Haldon Street, over the railway line.
