The construction works for the Sydney Harbour Bridge necessitated truncation of the southern terminus from Milsons Point to Lavender Bay. The first Lavender Bay railway station was opened on 30 May 1915 at a site 300 metres north of the original Milsons Point station on the North Shore
When the Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened in 19 March 1932 a new Milsons Point station (on the bridge approach) came into operation and the North Shore Line was extended through it and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to link with the underground lines of central Sydney. Events 1279 - A Mongolian victory in the Battle of Yamen ends the Song Dynasty in China. Year 1932 ( MCMXXXII) was a Leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. Sydney's underground railways do not form a true metro, because they are extensions of suburban main line services and are not a completely segregated system The result is that the two ends of the North Shore Line link to the Sydney railway system at Central and Hornsby. Central Railway Station (also known as Sydney Terminal) is the largest Railway station in Sydney.
After 1932 the original Lavender Bay station became a storage depot for electric trains, and the line connecting Lavender Bay to the North Shore line was reduced to single track. Year 1932 ( MCMXXXII) was a Leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. This line joins the current passenger-carrying North Shore line at Waverton station. Waverton Railway Station is a railway station on the North Shore railway line of Sydney 's CityRail network
