Honestly, this is a pretty cruddy railway station, and it gets ridiculously hot in summer, but for some reason, I still absolutely love the place. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that its tendrils stretch well out under the centre of Sydney. Well, not too far, but there are numerous underground entrances, and you can actually walk right through to Pitt Street mall without going upstairs, which being Sydney is a huge advantage. Oh, and pretty much every train passes through here as well, and it is quite close to a number of attractions as well.

Town Hall Station is a train station located in Sydney CBD served by numerous lines. This is the station to get off for the shopping district as most of the shopping malls are located in the vicinity. In addition to its close proximity to these shopping malls, the station itself is actually connected to several of them. The Queen Victoria Building and The Galeries have entrances to the station. And you could walk through these two malls to access Westfield Sydney, the biggest shopping mall in the area. This was particularly helpful on one day when I was in Sydney in which there was a huge rainstorm. I was able to to use the underground passageways rather than using the surface streets and getting wet. The station itself is pretty standard. There are 6 platforms here. The one thing I didn't like about this station is that it gets surprisingly humid as there isn't much ventilation.despite being underground. But this is a good train station to take to make connections from as just about every city train line stops here.

What keeps me coming back? The fact I have to travel through this place to get where I need to be. lol I don't mind the station.. it gives me access to the QVB and so many other shops. It's like the middle of the underground rabbit warren of shops that run like a spiderweb under Sydney. Great fun to spend a day getting lost. The station itself needs a bit of work and they keep doing bits here and there but I have to say, it never seems to make a huge difference visually. It's not a stunning place, it's just transit. It's a warm place even in cook times but during summer.. it can be quite hot down there. And a bit smelly. But even though it's nothing glamorous, I know that our Town Hall station leads to some good things.

OK, it may just be a station, but here's a tip if you haven't been in Sydney long and you have to get a train from here: Make sure you know what platform you're going to. Don't guess that just because a train going the other way on the line you want is at the platform, then your train will be going from the platform next to it. No no! You'll probably have to go down a couple flight of stairs or so to get to your train. It can get pretty confusing. Just saying.

Town Hall station, why wouldn't you! I frequent Town Hall Station Daily mostly platform 3 and platform 5 but today I had the joy of visiting platform 1 Rat spotting is a good way to pass the time here all whilst enjoying the consistently warm weather around 28-30 degrees with 83% humidity.

Who hasn't been to Town Hall station right. We can't really avoid using it really unless we bus it to the city. The station is perfect to use when you want to go anywhere in city or get anywhere outside of it too. They have upgraded it a little recently and the toilets are now located inside the concourse which makes so much more sense cause before they were free for anyone to use and weren't the most pleasant to visit on a weekend night. The platforms can get exceptionally warm which is wonderful during the colder months but torturous during hotter times. They had cold fans as a trial at one point which actually worked really well but for whatever reason they got rid of them again. Definitely need to bring them back. The station has great access to Woolworths which makes doing a quick shop on the way home perfect. QVB is accessible from station to so you don't need to worry about crossing any roads to access. Overall this station is good and I will continue to frequent it as it's better maintained then some of the other city platforms.

I have always loved this station. As a child my mother took me into town to visit all the wonderful shops, we always got off at Town Hall. There are so many platforms that it can be easy to get lost if you are not from Sydney. The platforms are under one another or alongside . It is better to plan a trip getting off or on at this station not during the rush peak hour times, definitely not a pram friendly area. However the station still has an old world charm.

Town Hall Station is great because it can lead us to get everywhere such as China Town, CBD (City Business District), QVB (Sydney iconic Queen Victoria Building), Hyde Park, George Street, Oxford Street, Pit Street, Darling Harbour, short walk to Opera House, The Rocks, Circular Quay, e.t.c. However, my main concern is it's getting too crowdy, so many people all the time. It's very hard to walk through the people. Especially , during business hours I feel not safe enough. So I prefer getting off the trains at Martin Place which is next to Town Hall. I can still get to everywhere above places but much fewer people. I feel much safer. Otherwise, it's very cool station. It's not modern looking but very retro and classic. タウンホール駅は街の中心にあるとっても便利な駅です。ガイドブックに載っているような観光スポットのほとんどに徒歩で行けます。ただ、私の懸念は最近ますます利用者が増えて人がいつもあふれている状態です。プラットフォームやコンコース、また駅の出入り口などもしかり。なので、今はタウンホール駅の一つ手前のマーティンプレイス駅を利用しています。こちらは日本の東京で言えば丸の内のような金融街で、タウンホール同様徒歩で有名なオペラハウスやオーストラリアの発祥地でもあるロックス地区などへも行けてしまいます。 人の数が多すぎる事を除けばタウンホールはとってもレトロチックで便利な駅です。

Waiting !!! For train home .....

The old Sydney General Post Office has been transformed into the Sydney Fullerton Hotel. This was a perfect place to stay. So convenient and so beautiful. Tours are available. 25 Martin Place was once the tallest reinforced concrete office building in the world. It was controversial as several historic buildings were torn down for its construction. It houses the US Consulate. Several war memorials are in the mall. The Sydney Cenotaph is outside the old General Post Office. It honors the ANZAC forces that who fought in World War I. The Commando Memorial honors Australian commandos who fought in World War II and later wars. It is a small seat near the entrance to the Martin Place Station.

The station itself is okay, expect for the lack of restrooms, at least as far as I could see. Trains aren't all that frequent either. Then again, it really isn't one of those stations that I'd make a habit of disembarking the train from.

Starting off my series of reviews from my recent trip to Australia with a review on a light rail…read morestation. The Star Light Rail Stop is a station on the Dulwich Hill Line of the Sydney Light Rail. If you are not familiar with The Star, it is a casino located in Pyrmont which is a suburb of Sydney. The light rail station is located underneath the casino and provides easy public transportation access to this entertainment complex. If you are trying to access this station, you need to go inside The Star. There are signs that direct you to the station which is downstairs. Sydney Light Rail runs 24 hours. But from midnight to 6 am, trains run only between Central Station and The Star. It does not continue onto Dulwich Hill. As for the station itself, it is darkly lit. It feels like you are sort of waiting in an underground parking lot. To pay for your fare using your Opal card, there are card readers at this station. Once you get onboard, there is a person that polices the train car to ensure that you have paid your fare by checking your Opal card. This station is pretty close to Sydney Fish Market which is a couple stops away. Though I would recommend getting off at the Wentworth Park stop which is actually closer than the Fish Market stop. If you like to gamble or enjoy the nightlife at The Star, this stop is very convenient as you can use it to reach Central Station and get to walking distance of the Sydney CBD at all hours of the day.

I came through here for the Sydney Marathon because race participants needed to get to Bradfield…read morePark for the start line. Each train car was packed once we arrived at this station so the train had to park there until everyone was able to get off. The bottleneck for getting out of the station were the stairs. Since it was an elevated platform, there were nice views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the surrounding area.

Milsons Point station (note no apostrophe in the name!) must be the CityRail station with the most…read morereal estate value. It's got the lot, incredible value, never to be repeated again: views (including water views and Harbour Bridge views), close to transport (yeah, literally, but ferries, f(r)eeway and buses are also not far away), close to shops (a couple of restaurants and cafes down there), heritage building, lifts built-in, gardens at your (non-existent) door-step. The list goes on. It also has got two bathrooms, an unknown number of rooms (probably more than your average home), but no parking spaces and no swimming pool:( Ok, in terms of real estate value I've lied a bit here. Circular Quay station is equally good (just see my review of it). The best part of this is you get to enjoy this value every time you check in here, and it only(!) costs you the price of a CityRail ticket. The interesting thing with the transport hub 'Milsons Point station' is that you won't even really notice it's there. Once you step out of the station building, which on its ground level really is just an arch-way under the extension of our Harbour Bridge, you're either in Kiribilli village, or Bradfield Park. From either side, it's just a stone's throw to the harbour. One last breath of harbour air. Breath-in...aaaahh fresh air: "Please stand clear. Doors closing." Oi, bummer.
