Cronulla track layout under the CityRailClearways Plan

Cronulla railway station is a railway station on the Cityrail network, a short distance from Cronulla Beach of Sydney, Australia, on the Pacific Ocean. It is the eastern terminus of a single line railway from Sutherland, New South Wales. The station is unusual in that the two platforms are situated end to end, rather than side by side. The station has Easy Access for wheelchairs because the platforms are at street level.

[edit] Clearways

Under the CityRail Clearways Project the single line to Cronulla will be duplicated. As a result, train stabling east of Cronulla will be replaced by stabling sidings opposite platform 2.

[edit] History

From 1911, steam trams operated a service between Cronulla and Sutherland. The railway line that replaced the tram service opened in 1939. Over the years, the branch line from Sutherland has slowly been duplicated.

Violence occurred in the station during the 2005 Cronulla riots. [1]
