Although the transport website claims they've only been in operation since earlier this year, I think it was just called something else previously. I'm pretty sure this was the first free bus loop in Sydney, and I remember going on it for the first time quite a few years ago. It goes from the interchange at the train station to Argyle and Macquarie Streets west, up O'Connell, past the Leagues Club to north Church Street, Prince Alfred Park, Lennox Bridge, Phillip Street, Parramatta Wharf (where you can catch the Rivercat), Charles and Macquarie Street and back to the interchange again. Phew. Actually, the whole loop only takes about 25 minutes, so you can jump on anywhere and get to anywhere you want in pretty darn quick time. I'm all for walking, but to save some weary feet and to keep cars off the road, this is a fantastic initiative for the community and tourists alike. The driver of one I caught the other day seemed a little harried at the other less-than-perfect vehicular operators on the road, for which the solution, I think, is more buses. More free ones. Yay.

I'm more than familiar with train travel. I can do it with my eyes closed and a blindfold on!…read moreBuses. That's a different story. That's why I was so impressed by the Parra Interchange. Well signposted it was easy to find Stand 3A. There was shelter from rain, there were seats and the buses came as per schedule. I switched to a different bus route when something suitable came through, to get me out of the cold. Good to see that sometimes a bus might get me closer to my destination than a train.

I can't believe how this place has built up with HUGE residential buildings. The Harris Park railway station is on the Western line. It opened up in 1883. Nowadays there are four rail tracks and two island platforms. Always wondered why there was a station here as it's so close to Parramatta. Still wonder that today. It's more than a stone's throw, but less than an RPG. Were palms greased in the late 1800's? Did an influential person have a house here? Did people want a shorter walk to Marion Street? (most will miss this reference). Perhaps we will never know. Can't believe I'm reviewing this place. Of course I don't have a picture. Are you kidding me?

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.
