History edit
Wollstonecraft station opened on 1 May 1893 when the North Shore line opened from St Leonards to Milsons Point. Originally named Edwards Road, it was renamed on 1 September 1900.[2] The original buildings were replaced in the 1980s.[3]
The platform is located on a sharp 200-metre radius curve, leading to complaints from residents about the squeal from train wheels.[4]
In May 2022, an upgrade to the station was opened including lifts and regrading of the platform.
