[Cody_]

discuss the worst train stations and lines in Australia, ill start us off
In victoria i would have to say Werribee would be my least favourite as Werribee station is so eery and the line is full of bogans and druggys

 

[exe ex machina]

How about all of them. The whole rail infrastructure in Australia is backwater.

Haven't been on a train for years but Corio Railway Station is a shocker

No staff anymore
Located in the middle of nowhere.Right next door is the Shell [whatever it is now] Refinery
Shithouse lighting for the carpark.I wouldn't want to walk from the platform to a car on my own at night

I've been on each line in Perth many times, but I'm yet to encounter any station as rapey as Jacana.

The Noarlunga train station is atrocious!!!

The Cranbourne line is a shocker and notorious for cancelled trains and so-on. Coming home from the footy this year we were supposed to be able to switch trains at Dandenong and immediately get on a Cranbourne train for the last part of the journey, but time after time the connecting train was either not there, or left before we had the time to get off the Pakenham train, get off the platform and then go up the lift or stairs and across to the other platform. So time after time we had about a 30min wait at the lovely (not) Dandenong station at about 11pm at night (in the middle of winter). Good times!

Hop on the Gawler line to scope some of South Australia's finest citizens. Its a woodstock and cola convention on there.

Can't forget Salisbury interchange with the lovely men and women that hang around there drinking thier fine and exquistite fruity lexia.
And the classy establisment just next door in the Eureka Tavern, and of course the mecca of shopping Parabanks.

In all seriousness I despise having to go to Parabanks, as it has the closest Big W to my house, feel like I need a decontamination shower after I leave

 

[pekay-norwest]

Y'all need to experience the Western line in Sydney. Frightening.

That road off Port Wakefield road to Salisbury interchange, barrel of a journey for some. Bank on it.

only there for geelong grammar kiddies... that whole strip is depressing - little river has some appeal, lara through north geelong are heinous. yarraville's a nice one, more like a tram stop than a train station, it's super casual with the cafes encroaching almost onto the platform.

Cumberland line is worse. At least the Western Line connects with the city and the North Shore.

For terrible planning and inaccessibility I'd have to go with the Carlingford line
