Turramurra railway station is a suburban railway station located on the North Shore line, serving the Sydney suburb of Turramurra. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 North Shore & Western Line services.

History Turramurra station opened on 1 January 1890 as Eastern Road when the North Shore line opened from Hornsby to St Leonards. It was renamed Turramurra on 30 August 1890.Turramurra Station NSWrail.net The present island platform and station building were completed in 1900.Turramurra Railway Station Group NSW Environment & Heritage

The district was originally known as Big Island, Vanceville and Claraville (after names of estates or grants), and further north as Tulip Scrub from the large number of tulips or waratahs there. Turramurra means "high hill" or "big hill". More than 100 years ago remnants of a tribe of Aboriginal people periodically travelled from the Lane Cove River to Cowan Creek and always broke their journey at what came to be called Wright's Hill, near Pymble Reservoir, or just north of it.

The traditional owners called this place Turramurra or Turraburra (not to be confused with Turramburra, the native name for the Lane Cove River). As no railway station was made there, it was applied to the station in the vicinity.

In 1977, a precast concrete footbridge was installed. This was replaced in 2008 by a new footbridge and lift.Turramurra Station Easy Access Upgrade CityRail 2 May 2008
