Sydney Central Grocer

I was a visitor to Sydney to attend wedding on Saturday and Sunday night. Tired from the wedding and deprived of sleep and rest, took an early morning 6:39 am train on Monday am from quakers hill to central to catch a connecting train to domestic airport. I am also on medication for hypertension which is a diuretic. Train journey to central was an hour commute. By the time I reached central station I was desperate to use the toilet and I was in terrible pain due to full bladder. We asked staff at the train station direction for the toilet. She was really nice and polite and she let us know that the toilet nearby is closed for maintenance and gave it’s direction. For next available toilet we had to go another part of the station which will take 30 minutes to reach and back. I am disappointed and shocked that in this so called first world country this is the plight, were if some one is sick and have to use the bathroom urgently have to walk 30 minutes to find a toilet. That too in a place like central station where all kinds of commuters travel at all odd hours of the day. Pls change this and put portable toilets, like at the building sites, if the toilet’s are going to be closed for maintenance. No human should lose their dignity having an accident because they can not find a toilet where it supposed to be, in this developed country. Thank you.

This is Sydney, and Australia’s, railway hub. Trains depart from here for places all over Australia and New South Wales. Regular rail services travel from here to Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth. Sydney metropolitan train services depart from this point. This location is serviced by CBD bus and tram services. There’s a restaurant and several cafes located near the grand concourse. And, for those overseas and international visitors, trains depart Central station for Bondi Junction about every ten minutes - you’ll need to hope on a bus at Bondi Junction for the trip down to Bondi Beach. #Sydney

I arrived here on a bus from Melbourne. Nice and organized place. Information in every corner, clean bathrooms and security staff. A lot of places to eat and rest if you arrived early and you have to Wait to do the check in at your hotel. Also is an amazing arquitectural and historical buildings of Sydney.

In A Nutshell: -Central Station is located next/in Surry Hills. -It's very easy to find. -The tracks are clearly labeled, so not a difficult station to navigate unlike HK, NYC, Seoul or Rome. -The only drawback was the lack of Opal top off machines. -There were only 3 that I saw w/ long lines & a couple required a PIN for your credit card. Overall, I really like the layout & the people I encountered were very civil.
