This is basically a railway station where two lines cross perpendicularly, the reason being that…read moreone of them is the airport line, which was recently constructed - sort of - when I say recently I am generally referring to for the Sydney Olympics as opposed to having been around since before I was born. However, it appears as if development has taken place around here as well, though in part this station still sort of feels like it is in the middle of nowhere.

I probably should move away from calling places like Mascot Station new, since it is probably…read moresomething like 20 years old now. Then again, in the grand scheme of things, particularly when it comes to railway stations, it probably is new. Anyway, this is the station that you DON'T get off at if you want to go to the airport. The reason I mention this is that apparently a lot of people do, and then get really confused when they can't find the airport. It's an okay station otherwise, though they should have a big 'NOT THE AIRPORT' scrawled all over it (though they used to call it Suburban).

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.
