History
Wollstonecraft station opened on 1 May 1893 when the North Shore line opened from St Leonards to Milsons Point. Originally named Edwards Road, named after J. G Edwards, it was renamed Wollstonecraft on 1 September 1900.<ref>Wollstonecraft Station NSWrail.net</ref> The original buildings were replaced in the 1980s.<ref>Wollstonecraft Railway Station Sign NSW Environment & Heritage</ref>
The platform is located on a sharp 200-metre radius curve, leading to complaints from residents about the squeal from train wheels.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In May 2022, an upgrade to the station was opened with accessibility upgrades including new bridges and lifts, raising the station platform and drainage works. Tendering for the upgrade started in mid-2020, with Downer being awarded to manage contractor contracts, with the work contracts being then awarded to RJS Infrastructure.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
