As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform constructed on the most northern line. The latter was demolished as part of the 1927 works.
In 2004, Summer Hill was provided with lift facilities which are accessed from the subway. Initial plans called for a new overhead footbridge to access the station; however, this was opposed by locals on both aesthetic and access grounds, and the plans were subsequently altered to the current arrangement.Summer Hill station, new plans lodged Action for Public Transport NSW 2 May 2002.
