This is a fairly busy station on the Northern Line. During the peak morning hours, there is a fast…read moretrain to Central but it is pretty full by the time it gets to West Ryde having come from Newcastle. Entry points to the station are from Ryedale Road and West Parade. There are two ticket machines, one is exclusively for EFTPOS transactions. They've recently installed a CBA ATM near the top of the stairs coming in from Ryedale Road. There are lifts on all platforms, and two toilets near the ticket counters. There are plenty of benches along the platforms, especially on the platform going to the city. There are food and drink vending machines on both platforms if you're feeling peckish while waiting for your train. A large section of the platforms is covered to protect you from rain when the weather's sour. The station is well lighted at night so you don't feel afraid for your life when catching public transport in odd hours. There's a coffee shop on the upstairs bridge open on weekdays for a quick brekky fix before catching the train. There are bus stops right outside the station with buses going to the city via Ryde, Parramatta and Chatswood. There's plenty of public parking on Ryedale Road for those coming to the station by car. You can also leave your bicycles at both the Ryedale Road or West Parade side but I would advise against it especially if your bike is expensive. I once saw a lonely bike frame chained to the fence near the carpark in Ryedale Road and it was missing its other parts which i suspect were taken off and stolen.

Flash wouldn't be caught dead hanging around this station…read more Speaking of the dead, when the Zombie Apocalypse does arrive Gordon will be the one station those walkers will congregate at - it looks like an abandoned location straight off the set. Why Gordon? It should be renamed Boredom! I wasted many hours here as a teenage punk forced to wait for a bus to take me home to West Pymble, and quite frankly the area in and around the station remains the same eyesore today that it did back then.

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!

The suburb of Beecroft is located 22 km north-west of the Sydney central business district. In…read more1886 the train line came through here and Sir Henry Copeland, Minister of Lands, conducted a survey of the area for residential development. He named the suburb after the maiden name of his two wives, Hannah and Mary Beecroft (two sisters he married in succession). His personal life raises all kinds of questions doesn't it. Wonder just how much of a knight he really was, though of course it all may be innocent also. Beecroft station opened in 1886. The original Beecroft station was located further south of the existing platform, approximately adjacent to the Beecroft tennis courts. The current station location opened in 1892. Currently, the station is accessed via an underpass and staircase - thus no Easy Access for wheelchairs. The ticket office used to be in the underpass, but was relocated onto the platform. I'm sure those guys appreciated being released from the dungeon below. We got the train here from Meadowbank to do a walk in the preserved areas before we discovered Kuring-gai Chase National Park next to Hornsby, just north. Beecroft Station Park is adjacent, for any kids. As I have said before, if you don't have kids, that can be arranged. Ask me how and you might get an answer.
