Background:
From 2009 to 2011, the track between Quakers Hill and Schofields was duplicated for more than 3 kilometres as Stage 1 of 2, as part of the Rail Clearways Project. In able to continue the duplication towards Richmond, The former Schofields station was demolished to create additional land deemed, required for railway tracks. Consequently the station was relocated 800 metres south of the former location to a minimally developed area foreseeing future residential development and was subsequently designed to support a dramatic increase in patronage.
The station features a distinctive colour scheme of maroon and cream as seen on the tin roofing, inspried by the Station Master's residence at Riverstone Station and reflecting on the European heritage of the local Richmond area and consists of an island platform with two platforms.
