History

[edit]

Rydalmere station opened on 20 April 1896 as Victoria Road. It was renamed Rydalmere on 1 August 1901.[2] The station was originally located on the western side of the line. It was replaced by a new station on the eastern side over the former goods siding on 28 June 1993.[3]

The Camellia to Carlingford section of the Carlingford railway line is being converted to light rail as part of the Parramatta Light Rail project with the line closed on 5 January 2020.[4][5]

The station and surrounding land were fully demolished in April 2020, to be replaced with Yallamundi Light Rail Stop.[6]
