Waverton railway station

History
Waverton station opened on 1 May 1893 as Bay Road station. It was renamed to Waverton on 20 May 1929.

When built the North Shore line proceeded to the original Milsons Point station at Lavender Bay. With the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the line was diverted via North Sydney station on 20 March 1932.

The original line was retained to access the North Sydney Car Sidings next to Luna Park. A shunting neck is located behind Platform 2 for these services. In May 1993, an upgrade of the station was completed which included a new overbridge and canopies.

The station received unusual attention in January 2007, when part of the Platform 2 face was seen to have an apparition of Jesus Christ on it. Church leaders are unconvinced but remain open-minded about the apparition, which has been explained as a combination of worn away paint and moss. People visited the station to see the apparition, requiring station staff to ensure that no observer is hit by a passing train.

Configuration
Waverton station is located on Bay Road at Waverton. The station consists of two side platforms, and serves trains on the T1 North Shore and Western Line and T9 Northern Line, as well as services to Gosford and Wyong during the peak.
