Kotara Cardiff Cockle Creek

Cardiff railway station is a station located on the line, serving the western Newcastle suburb of Cardiff. It is the closest railway station to the factory of Downer (formerly EDI Rail) who have constructed some of the Sydney Trains fleet, including the Millennium M Sets, as well as maintaining the Waratah A and B Sets.

History

The original station opened on 14 March 1889 and was relocated to the current site on 8 June 1902. [1]

Despite being one of the busiest stations in the region, the station used to have substandard facilities, in particular a lack of disabled access. There were numerous (often contradictory) proposals to either upgrade Cardiff or relocate the station to the abandoned station at nearby Glendale, following community pressure stretching back to the 1990s.

Eventually, Cardiff underwent an upgrade as part of the Transport Access Program. The upgrade made improvements such as new lifts, a re-graded ramp and footpath access, a new main station building, and new and upgraded CCTV surveillance and lighting. The upgrade commenced in mid 2011 and was completed in April 2013. [2]
