Lilyfield MLR station

Lilyfield is a light rail stop located in the suburb of Lilyfield on the Metro Light Rail line in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The stop serves a residential area. It is the only station on the line to be built as an island platform, though only a single platform is used. The other platform face is fenced off. The stop was opened as part of the Lilyfield extension in 2000 and is the current terminus of the line. Trams layover at the station while staff have a short break, then they begin their next service.

The stop is located in a wide cutting under the City West Link and next to an old railway yard. Access to the platform is from Catherine Street above, either by stairs or a lift.

The MLR utilises the former Darling Harbour branch of the Metropolitan Goods railway line between Exhibition and Lilyfield. The junction between this branch and the Rozelle branch can be seen to the west of the stop.

The light rail is due to be extended to Dulwich Hill in 2014, at which point the second platform will be brought into use. In early 2011, track was laid adjacent to the second platform.
