This is another one of those rather nice stations, and it has also been upgraded to make it much more accessible. Sure, there actually isn't all that much around here to check out, but still, the station is still quite nice.

It's across the road from a Great Hotel with great food ..... the Royal Hotel !! ...... and if you are a St George Dragons supporter ..... you know it well !! Just up the road from Jubilee Oval. It's a small station and not every train will stop here so always best to check your timetables.

I'm not really sure if I can call this station 'an old style station'. Sure, they still have the…read moreold building on the platform, but this seems to be part and parcel of many of Sydney's stations. It is also an inner-city station, but the number of platforms to sort of indicate that trains tend to stop here on a reasonably frequent basis, though at one time I did need to what a while (but it was getting a tad late, and it was a Sunday). However, having a pub next door does help out with that problem a lot.

Just tap a card or a phone payment app to get in and out of the train platform areas. Then it was super easy to figure out what platform would lead you to your train.

Museum Station is the stop after Central Station on the Airport Link train line. This station was…read morefirst opened and has signage to resemble those found in the London Underground. It also reminded me of a metro station in Cambridge, MA that I visited while in the Boston area earlier this year which has a similar retro look. The location of this station is very convenient as it is located in the southern end of Sydney CBD right next to Hyde Park. I used this station the most while in Sydney as my hotel was located about a block away from here. It made for easy commuting to and from Sydney Airport as a result. Can't recall if there is a lift here, but I decided to carry my luggage down the stairs as it wasn't too arduous. Unlike Central Station and Town Hall Station, there are only a couple lines that make stops here as there are only two platforms. The T2, which is the Airport Line and the T3. If you are going to other stations in the Sydney CBD, it is convenient to catch a train from here. But if you need to go to Kings Cross and Bondi Junction, you will need to transfer at Central or Town Hall. Found Museum Station to be a pleasant home station to use for my travels everyday while visiting in Sydney. I like how Sydney tries to maintain old structures while implementing new technologies. It is refreshing to see this compared to what happens to buildings like these in the US. It seems here we are more prone to tear a landmark like this down and build a new shiny station to replace it.

As far as train stations go this one isn't anything special…read more Its proximity to Westfields and the Parramatta Interchange make it a handy stop. Lifts to each platform are good for the mobility impaired (like me when I busted my ankle that time) and most each platform is under cover which will keep you dry when it's raining. With only four platforms though, the real question will be how it will continue to handle the growth of western Sydney. This station can be a nightmare at peak hour already.

On the north side of the station is a great Chinese restaurant that opened in 2012. Forgot the name of it, but remember their roast duck was ono. It's really big so you can't miss it. If you are heading west from Sydney, you can get the Jetcat catamaran from Circular Quay and walk up to Parramatta station at the jetcat terminus on the river. Takes a little longer, but what a nice ride along the Parramatta River.

Mind you, much of that has been replaced by the newer section up along the road, but the old main building is nothing short of gorgeous.

The station is very straightforwards so you will never get lost (like some at central station) and have only one entry/exit too. There is a space to lock and leave you pushbike (I wish it was more of that, I don't think that's enough) and there is a toilet too (yay!) Sydenham also have fast trains to the city which I am a big fan. Only one thing is missing....a good coffee shop at the station or just next door... anyone willing to open one??

30 km west of Sydney's Central Station is Toongabbie Station, serving the local residential suburb…read more There are two platforms, one for the two eastbound lines and one for the two westbound lines. Basic but functional design. The suburb is often locally referred to as "Toonie" or "Toonga Bay". My god, how many times have I waited for trains here. I had to sprint up the ramp more for not wanting to miss a train -- typically 30 minutes apart (more at peak hours). I deserve to get a First Review on this one. Maybe they ought to give me a plaque or something - a gold-plated one with a diamond studded border. Then I can sell it and retire in Oahu. The sooner the better! Toongabbie is noted for being the third mainland settlement (after Sydney and Parramatta) set up after the British occupation of Australia began in 1788. Funny how I never knew that till I read it on Wikipedia, even though I went to the local high school for two years. Great local pride, huh? Toongabbie is derived from an Aboriginal word, meaning place by the water or the meeting of the waters. It was named in June 1792 after Governor Arthur Phillip asked the local Aborigines what they called the place. Per Wikipedia, Governor Phillip established a government farm and convict station on 640 acres (259 ha) in 1791 to grow food for the colony. It was supplement to the farms already established at Rose Hill. By December 1791 there were 500 men working at clearing the land. After eleven years, the government farm was closed and the land was given as grants to settlers and convicts who had done their time.
