Turramurra Station

Turramurra is a railway station on the North Shore Line serving the suburb of Turramurra in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It has two platforms consisting of a single island, accessed by a footbridge at the southern end and another at the northern end.

It is served by 4 trains per hour with additional trains during peak hours.

Accessibility

In 2007 a start was made to provide Easy Access facilities at this station, which will mainly consist of a lift to provide access for wheelchairs and prams from the overhead footbridge to platform level. The awnings protecting against sun and rain are also being extended. Since the footbridge is located where the platform is in a cutting, it also has level access to the streets on either side. The existing footbridge has been demolished and a temporary one has been erected at the opposite end of the platform. The new footbridge and lift was opened on the 12th May, 2008.
