CityRail railway station on the Northern line. It is served by 2 trains per hour most of the time, with additional trains at peak hours.Rhodes is the station for the industrial suburb of Rhodes, the gated village/suburb of Liberty Grove (the luxury suburb opened in 1998), and the brand new suburb of Rhodes Waterside, and for the shopping centre there.
Rhodes station recently underwent major redevelopments. The station now features a brand new air conditioned concourse. It has lofty roofs, glass walls and curving, bright ceilings. To the fully undercover platforms, the station has covered staircases and lifts. The platforms now also feature Dell monitors which are being installed in new stations across Sydney. On the concourse, there are two ticket offices where tickets and information can be gained, and CountryLink bookings can also be made. The new station is now very spacious to cater to larger crowds in the future.
