This station was gorgeous, even if it only had to do with the lovely gardens that they had planted…read moreon the platform. Actually, you don't get many stations with lovingly tended gardens on them, so I have to admit that this one was actually pretty cool. Sure, it's a suburban station, but I'd be tempted to jump off here just to have a look at the garden.

Yep, here I am, wasting my time writing another review of a railway station that I probably don't…read moreactually need to review, not that it happens to be a business like the many other places that I've reviewed. However, as a railway station, it is pretty close to facilities, but then having a shopping centre built on top does help in that regards. Sure, Hurstville is probably not one of my favourite places in Sydney, but at least the trains are frequent.

I think the look a bit deceiving, when train stopped and you try go out from the platform, I feel…read morelike this area is not so friendly, but I was wrong. Coles and Mc D, just right at the entrance. This station is located underneath hurstville shopping centre and look so alive! When you out from the platform, to forest road, lots of restaurant offering so many different cuisine,Chinese, Korean, Malaysian etc. Next time I will explore more to this area

Just like its sister station Museum, St James is one of the grand old dames of the Sydney rail…read morenetwork. Built as a major station in the 20s, the line it was supposed to serve ended up running direct to Town Hall instead so St James became a neglected backwater on the City Circle until it was restored to its full 1920s glory. Full of ornate brass and ironwork, polished timber, original tiles and period advertising (including the iconic Chateau Tanunda brandy sign at the Elizabeth St entrance). Travelling to St James is like stepping back to the 20s. St James is also known for the abandoned rail tunnels that were built for the line that was supposed to run through it but never did. Apparently one is now flooded and forms an underground lake which is used to water the grass in the Domain. The other contains a large bell. No one knows why. If you like tunnels you can do tours. For fans of the Matrix movies, you may well recognise parts of St James from Matrix Revolutions.

For a station that happens to be quite a hike from the city centre, this one is really nice. Okay,…read moreit has a lot to do with the old style building on the platform, something that I tend to really like when it comes to railway stations. Oh, and it is pretty accessible as well, which is always a bonus (though not so much for me). The other thing is that it has a really nice garden out the front, which makes it quite aesthetically pleasing.

What a lovely part of Sydney and what a cosy little station. I spend a fair amount of time in…read moreOatley and really enjoy all the wonderful facilities available. Oatley train station is not a huge one .... but it's clean, tidy, never crowded and with recent renovations it looks fantastic. The change looks fitting and blends in well with surrounding buildings and parks without being overwhelming. It's the entrance to such a fun little village. It's also one of the major stops on the way to Waterfall ..... so comes in handy.

It seems that they are slowly getting around to making the railway stations in Sydney somewhat more…read moreaccessible, and this one, at least when I passed through (meaning that I jumped off of the train for some completely unknown reason, and then got on to the next one passing through) they were in the process of constructing, or refurbishing, the station. Hopefully they do make it somewhat better.
