This station isn't quite at the end of the line, but it is getting pretty close. Mind you, there…read morereally isn't anything all that special about this place - basically a shelter and a raised platform, and that is it. Honestly, I really didn't need to get off the train here, but did so anyway, namely because it was close enough to the end of the line that it really didn't matter. Yeah, nothing too flash here.

Well, one thing about this station is that it will literally take you two hours by train, from…read moreCentral Station, to get here, or at least that is the amount of time I calculated. Still, it is quite a nice station, and it does dump you in the middle of a place that does feel like a country town, or at least one of the towns on the edge of the city. Still, it was actually quite a nice looking station, and there usually is a train sitting here waiting for you.

I have to admit that this station is awesome, though for the size of the station compared to the…read moresize of the town, it does feel somewhat out of proportion. However, as a railway station, it is actually pretty awesome, despite the fact that it really isn't the most accessible one. Oh, apparently there used to even be a bar here, if the signs are anything to go by, but I suspect that it has long since been closed and is now basically a heritage-listed regional station. However, it is still really worth to trip up here just to check it out.

I finally managed to get off the train here to have a look around. Okay, it's not as if I couldn't…read morehave before, but Chatswood has always fascinated me - the suburb that is, not the railway station. The reason being is that it is a suburb but it has really tall buildings. Well, that isn't all that uncommon these days, but back when I was a teenager (or at least in my early twenties) it was. It sort of made Sydney to feel like a real city. As for the station, well it's pretty cool, and quite large as well, and the trains come by quite regularly as well.

This was easily my favorite station during my trip to Sydney. It's well lit and easily accessible…read moreto malls, eateries, Wooly's, the chemist, etc. It services different trains, buses, and taxis that go to the North Shore, the City, and all other essential destinations. Departure times were prompt and the interior is surprisingly clean, despite the amount of foot traffic that this station gets. Maybe I'll move out to Chatty and utilize this station more!

I wouldn't necessarily consider this to be a major station in Sydney, however quite a few trains…read moreseem to stop here, including the train that I caught from the Blue Mountains (I believe, or I could have simply changed at Blacktown). Mind you, like many of the stations is in Sydney, it is actually quite accessible, and as I mentioned, trains do stop here quite frequently, particularly ones that end up running express into the city. The other cool thing about this station, in particular, is that not all trains actually head into the city, some head off in multiple other directions.

The residential suburb of Seven Hills is located 35 km west of the Sydney central business…read moredistrict. Locally known as 'Sevo'. Prior to British settlement in the 1790s, this area was home to Aboriginal peoples - apparently the Warmuli and Toogagal clans of the Darug nation. First European discovery of the area was in 1988 or 1989. The first land grant in the colony of New South Wales was in the local "District of Toongabbee" to an ex- Marine soldier, John Redmond in May 1793. His 60-acre land grant was alongside a track which later became Station Road. Matthew Pearce was granted 160 acres in 1795. The name Seven Hills arose about 1800 because his farm was near the seventh hill along the road from Parramatta. How come nobody ever told me this? I always wondered where the heck the seven hills were, cause I never saw them in the neighborhood. We didn't have the internet back then and fed on rumours and old wives tales. Seven Hills station opened in 1860, the same year the train line was extended from Parramatta station to Blacktown Road station (now Blacktown station). It appears that regular train stops began here in 1869. Became a pretty big station, even though it is next to the bigger Blacktown station. I attended Grantham High School for two years, located in Seven Hills. I have been here too many times, but likely never again. You can't go back, or least least you shouldn't. Not to here.
