Dulwich Hill will be converted to a Metro station, as part of stage 2 of the Sydney Metro. This will see the station upgraded with lift access, and a new concourse allowing a direct transfer to the Dulwich Hill light rail station. The metro will also significantly increase the frequency of service to 15 trains an hour and shorten the trip to the city by up to 4 minutes.
