Central station sees about 12 long distance XPT/XPlorer railcar departures a day operated by NSW TrainLInk, plus numerous intercity electrics and a huge number of suburban trains. The Pyrmont/Dulwich Hill light rail departs from in front of the concourse while the much newer trams to the eastern suburbs depart from Chalmers Street/Eddy Avenue at street level. The recent refurbishment has really opened up the transfer from the country platforms to the suburban and Airport ones. It has been very well done: simple yet effective. Airport trains depart regularly and are far better than driving or enduring an horrendous bus trip. There are limited refreshment facilities on the concourse but many more eateries (rather basic) at street level. A Woolworths Metro is across the street from the Chalmers Street entrance.

Been 12 months between visits and the finish of the new station works is pretty good. New changes to get used too but that will come with time & use! A very noticeable melding of the old sections of the station with the new and I think they have done a great job? Good to see the old WW1 Honour Rolls back on display on the concourse as well, history needs to be retained as well as remembered! When next in the city have a stroll around a world class main station. I've been to dozens and can safely state that Central Railway Station is up with the best!

This is a magnificent, grand old station recently renovated. Well signposted and easy to navigate. We travelled on airport trains (to and from Central) as well as XPT Regional service to Bathurst. Beautiful station!!!

Beautiful big renovated building. Spacious and clean. Departure and Arrivals boards were easy to read. Handy floorplan maps of the station. Amenities were clean. Eternity Café was reserved for Indian Pacific pax (which we were one) and they provided delicious canapes and food. Bar staff were a bit hit and miss. The stained-glass windows were well done.

We came into Central on the overnight train from Melbourne and left from there a week later. A lovely grand old building on the Concourse level then you go down to the lower platforms which is very modern, easy to get lost when you first arrive, have not been there for about 30 years. There is a good information centre there and plenty of nice friendly staff who will soon direct you to where you want to go . There are a few information plaques / honour boards about significant people involved with the station and NSW RAILWAYS., good to read them. There is a luggage room and waiting room on platform one which is where we arrived and left from.. Good toilet facilities. One thing we found which was disappointing is the lack of eating venues at the station. There is a restaurant there but it closed at 6pm, a little coffee stall was closed as well, there was a small supermarket open and a vending machine, really not good enough for a major station, we had to go outside the station to get dinner before catching the night train to Melbourne. A comeplete contrast to Southern Cross Station Melbourne where there are soo many places to eat and drink. Also there is no wifi you can connect to at the station, surely in this day and age that is really old hat. Apart from that we were in and out of the station a lot during the week going to different suburbs of Sydney
