Allawah railway station is located on the Sydney Trains Illawarra line in the southern Sydney suburb of Allawah. The station opened on 25 October 1925, almost 45 years after the opening of the railway line.[1][2] It consists of two island platforms with an overhead concourse and ticket office at the northern (citybound) end. The original brick station buildings were demolished in the 1990s and replaced by lighter passenger shelters, and the station received a significant upgrade in 2004 with the provision of passenger lifts and expanded shelters.
Typically the station has two services to Bondi Junction every hour, and two to: Sutherland, Waterfall or Cronulla. Most trains use platforms 3 and 4. 1 and 2 are used during peak hours (to prevent congestion) or during a delay or emergency.
Platforms and services
Each island platform serves trains in both directions.
From Sunday 20 October 2013, on weekdays the station is served by four trains per hour in each direction for most of the day, with additional trains provided during peak hours; and on weekends the station is served by two trains per hour in each direction for most of the day.
