Every Sydney Station
@sydneystations.bsky.social
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.

Time for a progress update! So far I've visited:
172 of 185 Train & Metro stations
50 of 132 Intercity stations
39 of 43 Ferry wharves
I've just started my adventure along the Southern Highlands line - a very different vibe.
Thanks so much for your follows, likes and reposts. It means a lot to me!

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!

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

MENANGLE PARK, 63km from Central, is a sad little station on the Southern Highlands line, serving a collection of houses and a racecourse. It has two featureless platforms and a pedestrian level crossing. There's just a small shelter and bench on the Campbelltown-bound platform, and that's it. (1/2)

BLACKWATTLE BAY, 2km from Barangaroo, is a small wharf serving a mostly medium density residential area. It's a simple floating pontoon in a nice waterfront park. Again, there's no shelter, Opal reader or even a bench, and only some laminated pieces of paper tell you this is a ferry stop. (1/2)

Maybe it's time we talked about congestion pricing for the Sydney CBD
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

PIRRAMA PARK, 1km from Barangaroo, is a small wharf serving a high density residential area at the top of Pyrmont. It's a simple floating pontoon, with no signs other than some flimsy laminated A4 paper.
It's not an Opal wharf (yet), but as the F10 is on the map I may as well cover it. (1/2)

TUGGERAH, 99km from Central, is a recently rebuilt station on the Central Coast and Newcastle line, serving a car-oriented commercial and industrial precinct and some low-density housing. It has two platforms, a new footbridge and new lifts. The concrete and cladding almost feels brutalist. (1/3)

In the LR's defence it's built to connect to a metro that doesn't exist yet and stage two is going to be the busier part. But yes, it's far too slow, needs to be longer, and the area along the route needs to be more developed.
Parramatta LRT ridership falling short of “forecasts”. If only this could have been foreseen www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
Passenger numbers fall short on $2.9 billion Western Sydney light rail line
While rider numbers fell short of expectations in 2025, next year the number of trips taken on the Parramatta Light Rail is expected to double.

Tallawong is the perfect case study on how park-and-rides can never scale up to meet the capacity of a metro line but will consume the prime land around the station trying to do so.

The Sydney metro station where there are 2.5 cars for every parking space
A review into commuter car parking at one of Sydney’s busiest metro stations has painted a grim picture of the daily parking ordeal – and demand is showing no signs of slowing.

I hate how the core of our CBD is a rat run for cars avoiding the Cross City Tunnel toll.

Sydney’s new “GreenWay” opened on Sunday, and it is marvellous! A 7km traffic-free link from Sydney Harbour to Botany Bay, filled with art, nature and epic playgrounds for kids.

I'll pause now on the BMT. I'm keen for the Bathurst Bullet but the last train from Sydney arrives at sunset and last to Sydney departs very early.
3 stations to go, but there's a 4th coming! There's plans to re-open Wallerawang and add Opal services, using one platform for both directions.

LITHGOW, 153km from Central, is the last station on the Blue Mountains Line served by electric trains, although a handful of diesel Opal and pre-booked services continue west each day. It has two platforms accessed from an overhead concourse with lifts, a ticket office and waiting room. (1/5)

North Sydney Council really need to do something about the Miller St south exit to Victoria Cross station. A ton of pedestrians verses traffic trying to race for a green line. Dicey!

It's good to see Inner West Council start looking at improving pedestrian spaces by creating pedestrian plazas on the side-streets of Enmore Rd.
The lack of ambition by going "temporary" is a bit lame, but beggers can't be choosers

ZIG ZAG, 151km from Central, is a tiny station serving a heritage railway and nothing else. It has two platforms that are barely 10m long, accessed from a pedestrian level crossing. It is an "interchange" to the heritage railway's Bottom Points Station, but I don't think you can connect here. (1/2)

Congratulations Melbourne! 🍻
Happy Metro Tunnel Opening Day for all those who celebrate! 🚇🥳
Better, reliable, accessible, fast, frequent, connected public transport opens up access to opportunity, and gets more people off the roads and out of the traffic. #Melbourne #MetroTunnel

TIL the F10 ferry (Barangaroo to Blackwattle Bay) doesn't even accept Opal Pay let alone normal Opal.
I don't get why it's on the Opal ferry map then?
There's a fair few private ferries that take Opal Pay and don't appear on the map.
