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.
GADIGAL, 17,000km from Central, is a new underground station wait hang on how did I get here?

To the south is residential area, with a mix of detached and townhouses.

To the north is the town centre on the Old Hume Hwy, a collection of heritage buildings and cute cafes. Although the life of the town seems to have been taken by a shopping centre about 1km away.

With plenty of old charm, inside there is a waiting room, ticket office and amenities. Much of the building, including the second storey, don't appear open to the public.

There's a small weatherboard shelter on the southbound platform, but otherwise it's relatively bare. (2/3)

MITTAGONG, 132km from Central, is a larger station that serves a town centres with a strip of shops and some low/medium density housing. Its two platforms are accessed by a recently upgraded footbridge, with new glass and concrete lift towers. It features a two-storey heritage station building (1/3)

To the east is forest, there's no exit to this side. To the west are houses and an old, closed shop.

The station is down a short driveway which is lined with several community gardens. Amongst the trees there's a pergola with a mismatch of yard furniture - is this someone's backyard?

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.

As always, it's the wealthiest parts of the country that get the media coverage to push back on any supply of new housing.

Rose Bay, median house price $5.1 million.

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

I do wonder why the little de-mountable office is staffed, considering they don't sell tickets anymore. There's no other amenities here.

The station is located in the centre of town. To the west is the local supermarket and a handful of shops. To the east is an old country pub.

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)
January 24, 2026 at 6:22 AM
It looks like it's had some recent minor upgrades, including a new shelter on the northbound platform and new accessible ramps to the level crossing.

To the west is houses. To the east is an empty lot and the shopping centre beyond. The shops face the main road, and turn their back to the station.

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.

This road leads to a cute wooden one-lane bridge over a river.

The main exit is to a bus stop and drop-off area.

The surrounds are mostly low-density housing. While the station is probably in the geographic centre of the town, the high street is about 1.5 km away. A bit of a shame!

The building also has toilets and a ticket office. Further along the platform is an old signal box, and new shelters provide an undercover walkway to the footbridge.

The southbound platform has some small shelters and nice landscaping along it. There's an exit here directly to the road bridge (2/3)

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?

How odd, they put a shop in front of the wayfinding

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.

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.
January 4, 2026 at 1:07 AM
The new estate even includes land zoned for medium density and shops.

The developer, Mirvac, is promoting access to the station as the top feature of the estate - conveniently omitting the train runs hourly and only to Campbelltown.

Would the new residents use the train? Could you call this a TOD?
January 3, 2026 at 7:02 AM
The only exit is to the west, through the car park and onto a newly developed residential street. There's a brand new estate under construction immediately east, but there's no exit on this side.

Even the mediocre service of the Southern Highlands Line is a selling point for developers! (2/3)

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)
