[edit] Platforms/Service
The station is served by four to six trains per hour, with additional trains in peak hours. Trains to the city leave from platforms 2 and 4, so passengers often prefer to wait at the top of the stairs until their train arrives, as this reduces the chance of going to the wrong platform. Outside of peak hours and on weekends, trains almost exclusively depart from platforms 4 and 5. The station sits beside a major State Transit Authority bus interchange. Sydney government bus routes such as 400, 410, 471, 472, 476, 477, 478 and 479 serve the station. With the May 2006 timetable the station is now included on the South Coast Line timetable.
