West Ryde Station

This is a fairly busy station on the Northern Line. During the peak morning hours, there is a fast train to Central but it is pretty full by the time it gets to West Ryde having come from Newcastle.
Entry points to the station are from Ryedale Road and West Parade. There are two ticket machines, one is exclusively for EFTPOS transactions.
They’ve recently installed a CBA ATM near the top of the stairs coming in from Ryedale Road.
There are lifts on all platforms, and two toilets near the ticket counters. There are plenty of benches along the platforms, especially on the platform going to the city. There are food and drink vending machines on both platforms if you’re feeling peckish while waiting for your train. A large section of the platforms is covered to protect you from rain when the weather’s sour. The station is well lighted at night so you don’t feel afraid for your life when catching public transport in odd hours.
There’s a coffee shop on the upstairs bridge open on weekdays for a quick brekky fix before catching the train.
There are bus stops right outside the station with buses going to the city via Ryde, Parramatta and Chatswood. There’s plenty of public parking on Ryedale Road for those coming to the station by car. You can also leave your bicycles at both the Ryedale Road or West Parade side but I would advise against it especially if your bike is expensive. I once saw a lonely bike frame chained to the fence near the carpark in Ryedale Road and it was missing its other parts which i suspect were taken off and stolen.
