The transition from train to bus is easy, and the information is plentiful. Big city transit systems are sometimes overwhelming, but I find the Sydney systems easy to navigate, clean and the buses and trains come quickly.

It's a faster method of getting from domestic to the international terminal.

The waiting area has a screen, informing when the next trains are scheduled to arrive. The track area is even well maintained and looks pristine. It's 7 AUD to take this vs. the free shuttle bus that is crowded and the wait can be longer.

As far as train stations go this one isn't anything special…read more Its proximity to Westfields and the Parramatta Interchange make it a handy stop. Lifts to each platform are good for the mobility impaired (like me when I busted my ankle that time) and most each platform is under cover which will keep you dry when it's raining. With only four platforms though, the real question will be how it will continue to handle the growth of western Sydney. This station can be a nightmare at peak hour already.

On the north side of the station is a great Chinese restaurant that opened in 2012. Forgot the name of it, but remember their roast duck was ono. It's really big so you can't miss it. If you are heading west from Sydney, you can get the Jetcat catamaran from Circular Quay and walk up to Parramatta station at the jetcat terminus on the river. Takes a little longer, but what a nice ride along the Parramatta River.

(Note: The way to travel for rail, light rail and ferry is to have an opal card). If you need help with the ticket readers, let one of the train folks know so they can help you. Transfers to light rail are clearly marked and easy to follow. The rest room could have been cleaner, but it was free. The exterior looks retro with red brick and has modern touches with the white exterior roof. Finally, there are elevators and escalators here. I know the last time I tried to go thru the subway at Waterloo in London I had to ask a nice young man for help with my suitcase to get it down the escalator, since they didn't have an elevator to use.

We enjoyed experiencing the local transportation. Although…read moretheir system was NOT as user friendly as NY, London, or Italy, it was easy enough. Quality/Quantity - New and old trains, see pictures. Liked that they had double decker trains, cool. Accurate and easy to read signs. Atmosphere - Safe. I believe you can use your credit card to scan in and out, but we were given an Opal card by our friends. Good signage to find our way around and to get on the correct trains. Mostly clean, well the newer trains were much cleaner than the older trains. Service - Mostly self service. They did have an employee or two at each station. Price - No idea, as our friends gave us funded Opal cards and it never ran out of $$. I am told that seniors (not me) are only charged $2.50 a day, what a great deal! We paid per trip. The Opal card was also good for buses, ferries, metro, light rails, etc. Owner Comment - Thank you for a good system.

One of four underground railway stations that were added to the Sydney railway for the Sydney 2000…read moreOlympics, the International Airport Station was opened on May 2000. It services the international terminal of SYD, and will take you to the main heart of the Sydney railway (Central Station) in under 15 minutes. The same train will take you further towards the Sydney Harbour, and we found it to be the easiest way to get to the International Cruise Port for a cruise, after flying internationally from the States. The Metro implemented a cash-less system, where you can either use a purchased tap card, or just use your tap-enabled credit card as your ticket. It cost about $17.34 AUD for the one-way trip to Quay station, and its important to tap in and tap out with the same card, so the system knows how much to charge. It was interesting in that the authorization on the card is just for $1 AUD, and the settlement will obviously be more quite a bit more. The station is about 75 feet underground, and is quite large and wide. There are elevators and escalators servicing this distance, and could be a bit of a challenge with luggage. I loved the train cars: every other car had an entrance door station level, but each car connected on both sides was a double decker, with a choice to go down or up stairs if finding open seats. Granted, it does take some maneuvering with luggage, but it's an efficient way to put more people in a car, letting them self-select if they can make to the upper/lower levels, leaving the main cars for those that have the bulkiest luggage.
