CityRail intercity network in Bundanoon,New South Wales ,Australia . The station opened on6 August 1868 as Jordans Crossing, but was renamed Jordans Siding in 1878. Finally in1881 , the present name was agreed upon. The station has two short platforms that serve the diesel railcars that use the line. CountryLink services to and fromCanberra and Griffith can also stop at the station on request.They are not connected, and passengers are required to cross the tracks by a foot crossing at the northern end of the station to reach the opposite platform. Both platforms are at the same level and there is effectively
Easy Access to the station.The station has a signal box on platform 2 which controls a set of points just to the north of the station. Until the 2005 timetable one afternoon train a day terminated using this setup, the train arriving on platform 1 using the set of points, and departing back towards Campbelltown. This practice was discontinued, the signal box and points closed and the route curtailed to end at Moss Vale.
