History

edit

Clyde station opened in 1882 as Rosehill Junction. It was renamed Clyde on 19 August 1883, Clyde Junction on 1 August 1901, and back to Clyde in April 1904.[3] The station was also rebuilt in 1959.[4]

On 17 November 1888, Clyde became a Junction station with the opening of the Carlingford line to Rosehill. As part of the Parramatta Light Rail project, the Carlingford line closed on 5 January 2020.[5]
