I remember coming down here quite a number of years back, and I also sort of remember catching the…read moretrain from here to head back into the city to wait for the train to Melbourne (which was leaving in the evening). The station itself really has nothing all that special about it, though I should mention that it does happen to be accessible. However, yeah, it really isn't one of those places that grabs my fancy.

Of late Cityrail has been doing a mysterious special express where it cuts out 3 stations between…read moreGordon and Hornsby and just does the Gordo-Tuzza-Waitara-Hornsby dash. I'm cheering on Monday's because it means I am in less of a rush to get to my gym class, and another worthless station gets skipped :) That's our Pymbie, gateway to the worst pub on the North Shore, and an easy stop to skip. Pymbie's weird like that. It kinda plonks you in the middle of nowhere. As someone that grew up in West Pymble I can attest to almost never using this train station in my youth, which seems absurd since my high school was in Waitara. However, the station was so far away that it was really only accessible by bus and anyone that knows Pymble avenue will tell ya that there ain't no bus on this planet gonna get up that hill... so the buses dumped ya at Gordon Station instead. Pymble train station only became a necessary station for me when I took on a job at the golf club behind PLC for 6 years. Even then it was a good 15 minute walk from the station to work (and I was coming via the city because I was studying computer programming at the time). Much like the pub of the same name, this station just ain't my scene!

I finally managed to get off the train here to have a look around. Okay, it's not as if I couldn't…read morehave before, but Chatswood has always fascinated me - the suburb that is, not the railway station. The reason being is that it is a suburb but it has really tall buildings. Well, that isn't all that uncommon these days, but back when I was a teenager (or at least in my early twenties) it was. It sort of made Sydney to feel like a real city. As for the station, well it's pretty cool, and quite large as well, and the trains come by quite regularly as well.

This was easily my favorite station during my trip to Sydney. It's well lit and easily accessible…read moreto malls, eateries, Wooly's, the chemist, etc. It services different trains, buses, and taxis that go to the North Shore, the City, and all other essential destinations. Departure times were prompt and the interior is surprisingly clean, despite the amount of foot traffic that this station gets. Maybe I'll move out to Chatty and utilize this station more!

This is the only station where a cockroach literally crawled up my leg. Not sure if that's an…read moreeveryday occurrence here. I'd keep an eye out if I were you.

Woah, this railway station was really, really deep. In fact, it felt like it went down forever, or…read morewent up forever, namely because I arrived here by train, and then departed by train. In fact, I love these really deep stations, there is just something really cool about it. Also it is pretty well resourced, with lots of facilities, though it really only exists to service the university, though the people who live nearby no doubt love it.

Great train station - super friendly staff, clean, trains are always on time, plus there's the huge…read moreshopping center right outside the station.
