Paddy's Markets is both a light rail stop and a neighbouring monorail stop on the Metro Light Rail and Metro Monorail lines in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The stations are located in Haymarket (near Sydney's Chinatown) in a public square between the flea market type Paddy's Markets and the Sydney Entertainment Centre. The stops were formerly called Haymarket for the light rail stop and Powerhouse Museum for the monorail stop. In 2005, the stops changed to their current name in a naming rights deal.[1]

Light Rail stop

The light rail station is located opposite the Paddy's Markets. There are two platforms, one for services to Lilyfield (or The Star between midnight and 6am), the other for services to Central. The station is at ground level (as the light rail runs on the street at this stage) and is only slightly raised from the ground. The stop opened in 1997.

Monorail stop

The monorail stop is next to the light rail stop and is attached to the Sydney Entertainment Centre car park and a pedestrian footbridge to the Powerhouse Museum.
