History

Mount Colah station opened on 1 July 1887 as Colah. It was renamed Mount Colah on 6 May 1906.[3]

The station received a new concrete footbridge with three lifts, tactile indicators, a new station building and an accessible bathroom as part of an upgrade to replace the former footbridge at the northern end of the station, in August 2024.
