Quakers Hill station opened in 1872 as '''Douglas Siding'''. It was renamed '''Quakers Hill''' on 30 March 1905 and relocated to its present location on 29 June 1939.<ref>[http://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Quakers+Hill Quakers Hill Station] NSWrail.net</ref> Two sets of [[Railroad switch|points]] at the southern end of the station allow trains to terminate on either platform.
The tracks through the station were electrified in 1975. The station had a [[crossing loop]] until the line from [[Marayong railway station|Marayong]] was duplicated to Quakers Hill in 2002. In 2011 the second track was extended to [[Schofields railway station|Schofields]].


The station had a [[crossing loop]] until the line from [[Marayong railway station|Marayong]] was duplicated to Quakers Hill in 2002. In 2011, the second track was extended to [[Schofields railway station|Schofields]] with a new overhead concourse with lists completed at the same time. As a result, T5 Cumberland line services were extended to terminate at Schofields.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111124065701/http://www.cityrail.info/news/2011/111004-schofields New, relocated Schofields Station is now open] CityRail 29 October 2011</ref>
An [[Easy Access|easy access]] upgrade involving the construction of a new overhead concourse was completed in 2011. Prior to the Easy Access upgrade, the station had an overhead ticket office attached to a footbridge. This arrangement could become congested due the narrowness of the footbridge and the position of the ticket office. The ticket office is now conveniently placed on the platform. This has seriously helped the recent population growth in Quakers Hill and other surrounding areas.
