Villawood Railway Station
Villawood is a minor railway station on the CityRail Inner West railway line in Australia. It serves the Sydney suburb of Villawood, a residential area with some industry. It has an island platform, built with the opening of the line. The station has an overhead footbridge connected to the platforms by stairs. Thus the station does not qualify as having Easy Access for wheelchairs. Under the Southern Sydney Freight Line project, a third track will be built to carry freight trains separately from the passenger lines.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
