It is also served by Intercity NSW TrainLink services on the Central Coast & Newcastle Line. It serves the suburb of Epping, a significant commercial and residential area. Epping is a significant interchange station. Easy Access to all platforms is available via lifts.HistoryWhen the Main Northern Line opened on 17 September 1886, a single platform known as Field of Mars was located on the western side of the line opposite Chester Street. The platform was renamed Carlingford on 5 April 1887.The station was renamed Epping when it opened in its current location on 7 October 1899 as an island platform. An additional island platform was added in 1928. The centre track was originally a terminating road, and was served by platforms on each side between both island platforms. This was intended as part of Dr Bradfield's proposed Epping to St Leonards line. A new booking office on the footbridge was added in 1967 after the original wooden structure was destroyed by fire.
