[edit] History
Lidcombe station opened in 1858 with four platforms during the construction of the railway line through the area[1]. In 1999, Platform 0 was constructed as part of the Olympic Park line works. By 2008, Lidcombe station will receive an extra platform for terminating City via Bankstown and Berala trains, as part of the Clearways project which intends to untangle the various lines. This will segregate the Inner West line from the Bankstown line.
