Redfern — Attraction in Sydney

Modern styled station that has lots of different lines coming through it. Staff tend to be very helpful at these stations and this is again the case here. They seem very approachable. There are options for the community to walk through the station to the other side of Redfern without scanning their Opal card, which is a lovely addition. Nice artwork seen in the photo from around a month ago. Lots of steps, but lots of lifts as well making it pedestrian friendly apart from the T4 Line I believe.

Certainly one of the "ugly duckling" turns into a swan when it comes to rundown train stations turning into a beautiful transportation hub. The only unfortunate thing about this station is it's not wheelchair accessible! There's escalators and stairs though. It has short platforms so it's advisable to leave the train from the first six cars. There's departure board for all services. Available here is Opal card top up or single trip ticket machine, lavatory, payphone, emergency help point, taxi ranks and "kiss and ride stopping area". The station closed from 1 am to 4:30 am, weekdays, weekends and public holidays. Routes from this station to Emu Plains or Richmond to the City, to Parramatta, Lepington, Liverpool, Lidcombe via Bankstown. Certainly comes a long way from an almost backward and...
