Every Sydney Station

A personal nerdy project to document the look and feel of every station on Sydney Trains, Intercity, Metro & Ferries. A look at urban environments in and around Sydney. Also other transit & urban things. Just some nerd.

YERRINBOOL, 116km from Central, is a small rural station serving a few streets of houses. It has two platforms with small steel shelters on each and a disused weatherboard station building, and a pedestrian level crossing Despite being quiet, someone is taking great care of the gardens. (1/2)

Parramatta Light Rail stage 2 now chopped into two pieces. Stage 2a will stop at the top of Wentworth Point. Stage 2b - the most important bit that connects to metro at Olympic Park - pushed out into the indeterminate future.
Can't lie, it's quite disappointing.

A metro line with just one CBD station, that is also the terminus, and also an interchange with practically every other line, sure is going to be something

BARGO, 103km from Central, is a small, quiet station serving some shops and low-density housing. It has two platforms with an annoying ramp bridge that winds over itself.
The northbound platform has a small shelter, while the southbound has the saddest station building I've seen (1/2)

Controversial: demolishing 80 units in 10 a storey block and building 34 units in a 14 storey block.
How about instead: 200 units in 30 stories? 400 units in 50 stories?
Potts Point is an obvious spot for it.

Some welcome balance from SMH on loss of more affordable housing, to be replaced by far fewer multi million $ units.
Problem rife across inner city, harbour & coast - exactly where you want housing diversity & density.
Planning needs cast iron rules to stop such loss of well-located density.

TAHMOOR, 95km from Central, is a smaller station serving suburbia and a small shopping area. Its two platforms are accessed via a level crossing and each have old weatherboard buildings. Weirdly the larger, ornate building is on the quieter southbound platform, with a waiting a room and office (1/2)

NIMBYs in a nutshell.
Suburban sprawl brings endless commuters on the Anzac Bridge above Pyrmont? Who cares!?
Moving people into Pyrmont where they can walk, bike, take bus/tram/metro/ferry? A strain on roads!
Traffic woes? Double it and give it to the next person.

PICTON, 85km from Central, is the first nice station I've visited on the Southern Highlands Line. Its two platforms are connected by a footbridge with new lifts, or via an older road bridge. The Campbelltown-bound platform has a charming old station building with a waiting room. (1/3)

A couple of new renders of Hunter St Station dropped with a bunch of press releases about contracts being awarded.
Am I right in saying we are yet to be shown how it'll all fit together underground?
First looks like west exit from Hunter St? Second is east exit from O'Connell St?

I'm not jealous that the Melbourne Metro Tunnel had a cool collector pins and passport giveaway and Sydney Metro didn't. Not at all.

Maybe the Sydney equivalent is spider webs across footpaths?
One of the biggest challenges to living anywhere aside from Montreal, if we were to ever consider it, would honestly be snow clearing.
It’s a major quality-of-life issue for 3 or 4 months each year, whether you’re walking, biking, pushing a stroller, or yes, even driving.

This old sign on King Street, Newtown, shows the attitude of the designers of the road layout. Crazy that in 2026 it's still a traffic sewer.
It's time to remove the clearway and return space to the community.

‘Much more than a ramp’: Newest addition to Sydney Harbour Bridge opens to cyclists
The opening on Tuesday of the 170-metre-long ramp at the Coathanger’s northern end means cyclists no longer have to lug their bikes up and down 55 stairs.

DOUGLAS PARK, 73km from Central, is a small station serving some low density housing. It has two platforms each with small, basic shelters, accessed by a level crossing. There's a general store up the road a bit, and houses on both sides of the station. It's a pretty sleepy area.

MENANGLE, 65km from Central, is an old rural station being quickly surrounded by new suburban sprawl. It has two platforms with a pedestrian level crossing. The northbound platform has a disused heritage brick building and a small shelter with bench, and the southbound platform is featureless. (1/3)

As pretty as Linden is, you gotta wonder why it exists let alone why they're spending money staffing it. Every train gets delayed a few minutes for no passengers, and there's no prospect of any new development.
Great video though

Parramatta Light Rail!
Here's the sprawl coming to Menangle Park, just south of Macarthur. There's some apartments around a town centre with shops, but it's >1km away from the station!
The focus is on the Hume Mwy, with brand new ramps directly into the suburb costing $200m, part funded by NSW.
The railway gets no love
