This line is seriously so convenient to the city, and there's heaps of parking around the streets too (at least in the weekends!) I feel like Conkie West is one of Sydney's hidden suburbs of joy - close to nature, IKEA and a train link to the city. Let's hope those house prices crash so I can get me a little bit of land around here. Aircraft noise is pretty non-existent too so it's a bit of a win-win. But this is meant to be about a train station. Brand new. No bins. Few seats.

Burwood Station is an inner west station of Sydney. It is very close to Mini Chinese Town, Burwood…read morePlaza and Burwood Westfield. Therefore a good shopping area. The station itself has a lift and is well posted . There is good signage to tell you when and which platforms are the next trains. You must have an Opal Card to travel on trains, buses and ferries in Sydney. There is concession cards and a senior card that you can apply for on line.

The other thing is that the trains through here are fairly frequent, though not all of them stop. Then again, this is a major line so I am not all that surprised since this isn't a major station.

There is also an excellent shopping centre nearby. Rhodes Shopping Centre has a huge IKEA store and cinemas. Around the shopping centre is a 24/7 gym and several Asian restaurants. This is all in walking distance from the station. On the other side of the station is Concord Road and buses going to and thro from the inner city suburbs and the large Concord Hospital. The station has all the mod cons and caters for people with mobility problems, yeah a good sized lift. Often not manned so make sure you have your Opal Card.

This station is now the station to get off to the new campus of Meadowbank Public School, Marsden…read moreHigh School and Meadowbank TAFE all in the one precinct. The buildings and playgrounds of the precinct are the best that can be found. The train stop here frequently, every 15 minutes during peak times. There are shops on either side of the station.

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.

However, you can be certainly guaranteed of getting a train here - maybe not a seat on the train, particularly during peak hour, but you can certainly get yourself a train. It is also one of those stations where you can catch trains to different parts of the city, without having to go in, and then out again.

The inner suburb of Homebush is located 15 km west of the Sydney central business district…read more Homebush was established in the 1800s by the New South Wales colony's surgeon D'Arcy Wentworth. The suburb was possibly named after Wentworth's 'home in the bush' located here, or may have been named from the history of droving cattle and sheep to Sydney's central stockyards, located at the later site of Flemington Markets and the Sydney Olympic Park site. Drovers camped here after their journey through 'the bush' and may have adopted the name 'home bush'. I went to Homebush Boys High School for four years, so Homebush station was my stop. Homebush Boys is regarded as one of the academically best-performing comprehensive schools in the state, and has ranked above selective schools. Lots of famous people came out of there. The best sporting high school in the state, and we were unbeaten for years and years in total sports count against the other schools in this strong sporting zone. I was the best runner in the state in my age category, winning seventeen state championships, so I led a charmed existence. To get to school from Homebush station we had to trek a full kilometer in driving blizzards through mountains and valleys of dense forest, without shoes. Kids nowadays have it so easy. Homebush station opened in 1855 when the railway line came through. The station was expanded to 6 platforms when the line between Redfern and Homebush grew six-fold in the 1920's when the line went electric. Nothin' special on the station to give it more than two stars, though.
