Cronulla railway station platform

Cronulla railway station

Cronulla railway station is a railway station on the Cityrail network, a short distance from Cronulla Beach of Sydney, Australia, on the Pacific Ocean. It is the eastern terminus of a dual line railway from Sutherland, New South Wales. The station is unusual in that the two platforms are situated end to end, rather than side by side. The station has Easy Access for wheelchairs because the platforms are at street level.

Clearways

Under the CityRail Clearways Project, the single line to Cronulla was duplicated. As a result, train stabling east of Cronulla has been replaced by stabling sidings opposite platform 2.

History

From 1911 until 1932, steam trams operated a service between Cronulla and Sutherland. The railway line that replaced the tram service opened in December 1939. Since the 1980s, the branch line from Sutherland has slowly been duplicated, work being completed in 2010. Cronulla has the second longest platform in NSW, after Albury. Violence occurred in the station during the 2005 Cronulla riots.^[1]
