Central station

by margsch Online Now May 31, 2012 at 12:38 PM

Hi again, when I get off the train from the airport I would like to head straight to Killara, I have printed off what platform I need but don,t know my way around the station itself. Do I need to go up to the newsagent to buy the day pass or can I get the Seniors day pass from a machine? Any help gratefully received.

    I bought my day pass at the Airport Train ticket office when I purchased the Airport to Central railway ticket. They sell both tickets. I did not use the machines. At the domestic airport you will see signs to the airport train, you have to go down several flights of stairs ( there may be a lift). I thought I was going the wrong way, but asked someone and they said follow me.

    Again with the cityrail website. It's saved as one of my favourites. 131500.com.au/plan-your-trip... Does the link work? Looks like you can change at Wynyard Stn (from platform 5 to platform 4). Unsure if it's a straight change from one side of the platform to another. It's a smaller station than Central, so less walking.

    Thanks for the links, yes Wynyard seems a better idea. I need to change there but even if I miss the train 2 mins later there is another one in 10 mins.

    Ah yeah, I just had a quick look. The train coming from the airport gets to Townhall via the city loop (Central - Museum - St James - Circular Quay - Wynyard) so I'm 99% certain you just have to cross to the other side of the platform for the North Shore train to Killara. Depending on your luggage size & crowds, try to sit upstairs (double decker trains) for a great view of Sydney Harbour as you pass over the bridge.
