After giving it some thought, I truly believe Granville is the dirtiest, most disgusting station I…read moreknow. In that it excells like no other. Gritty. How could it be so bad, when pretty much all the others are acceptable? Kinda reminds me of those elevated stations on the Jamaica Line in Queens New York. Unpleasant. If I had a dollar for each time I was freezing my ass off in winter waiting for a train at Granville as the wind seems to rip through the place... Always hated it when I was on a Liverpool train and had to get off at Granville for the Western line. They did have the shop on the platform though, and you can get a drink or a Paddle Pop or something. Imagine working there? My friend from Homebush Boys High would get off at Granville while I continued on to Toongabbie. I envied him for that 'cause I had so much further to go, but was still glad that Granville Station was not my local. Lucky to get two stars from me, but nothin' "bad" ever happened to me there.

Stock standard train station. You can change here for a number of different lines including…read moreCampbelltown and City Circle. There are a few food joints around the station mostly dishing out deep fried fast food. There's also a newsagent as well. Lifts for each platform make it good for the mobility impaired.

Got off one station earlier than usual because this station has a lift and I had holiday luggage. I…read morecould then catch a bus to my home destination. If you are visiting Westmead Hospital or Children's Hospital Westmead you can try the 5 minute walk or catch a bus. The bus stop is at the bottom of the ramp & across the road. This station would be great for those wanting to explore Parramatta Park. You could get off here and amble through the park back to the Parramatta city centre. In fact when you plan to attend a Parra Park event, like Australia Day, this would be easier than Parramatta Station......and I'm pretty sure all trains stop here!

Free travel on trains this weekend! Yeah! This station is always clean and the Station Assistant…read moreis most helpful.

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.
