message: There seems to be argument about the name of the station. The official name of the interurban part of the station is 'Central', as is shown on all Intercity Cityrail timetables, and all modern signage inside the station. The name 'Sydney Terminal' is still referred to often, but it is not an official name, so I will revert to the previous edit on this but will note that the previous name is still often used. If you can show me that this is not the case then it will be removed. (JROBBO 05:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The only places where "Sydney Terminal" remains used is in station announcements where the need to separate the intercity and suburban platforms (which may suggest that a different code may be used to distinguish the two "sides"...), but otherwise with signage, trackwork info, etc. I agree; it's definitely "Central", or "Central (platforms 1-15)" at best where the intercity platforms have to be mentioned specifically. (At one point in the 2000s - 2003 or 2004 IIRC - there was also a transitional phase where "Central Terminal" was used in timetables only, but that is no longer the case, and I doubt anyone else ever called it that compared to either of "Central" or "Sydney Terminal".) -Spiky Sharkie [ talk ] 13:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I know the stations appear backwards, but please don't change the table around to suit all the rest of the stations - it shows that the different lines head in different directions around the City Circle and it shouldn't' be changed. Thanks. (JROBBO 02:35, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Central station is the station for all students of UNSW who live beyond the Eastern Suburbs, and hence it definately deserves a mention considering the sheer volume of students that get off there. I added a point about that the other day (I believe), yet it was taken away, I shall add it again. Nebuchanezzar 02:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not relevant to that part of the article - Sydney Uni and UTS are the direct stations in close proximity to Redfern and Central respectively - it doesn't matter if there is a short walk, they are reached directly. Sydney Uni is also a suburb, which gives it extra reason to put it in the article as a neighbouring suburb of the station. UNSW is not directly served by a railway station nor is it within walking distance of the station - it is served by a bus from Central. For the same reason, Macquarie University is not mentioned under Epping station (even though it is the closest station); but when the new station opens it will get a mention there. Under the bus services section, the fact that there are direct express buses to UNSW is a relevant fact and there should be a paragraph or so on that fact. Please put something in there (more than my sentence), but not at the top. (JROBBO 07:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Ok, I have been reading this article and Im just thinking how freaking old is it?
Platforms 27 and 28 service the City Circle and the East Hills lines respectively. I will not change it because the other platforms would face duplication aswell (of which I'm not aware of their purposes.)
But can anyone change the platform information to depict the actual services that 'service' them? Orbitalwow 17:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Central only has 25 platforms with two extra constructed but not used or connected to the network. If what you mean by actual services that 'service' them? is a list of when a perticular train arrives and where, then I'd like to remind you that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. You should go to the CityRail website for more information because they keep their information up to date. Harryboyles 06:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm suggesting maybe the Light Rail section may have to be split off into their own article, as this article is meant to be mainly focusing on the railway station, rather than the Light Rail station.  Any thoughts, suggestions, etc etc?  --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 10:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Central MLR Station

message: I am wondering if some details of numbers of passengers per day should be included, and if anyone knows if it is Australia's busiest station - if it is can this be mentioned. Nomadtales 01:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's very hard to get passenger figures from CityRail, but that would be good. I think Australia's busiest station would be either Town Hall or Wynyard station, not Central. Central isn't the busiest station on the network, but it's certainly number 2 or 3 IIRC. JRG 00:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I mentioned on the [{Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sydney|WikiProject Sydney talk page]], perhaps A Compendium of CityRail Travel Statistics might give us the figures we need. Harryboyles 02:33, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually Central is the busiest station when you include the intercity trains as well. I recently emailed Cityrail about station patronage and Central had 89,000 per day whereas Town Hall had 77,000 and Wynyard had only 55,000. The busiest station in Australia is actually in Melboune I think. I forgot which one but one of Melbourne's stations is used by 110,000 a day. YuMaNuMa (talk) 13:44, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

message: the page indicates that two of the platforms are used as document storage, however these platforms were converted into the airport lines back in the late '90s can someone confirm this and edit  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.152.139.216 (talk) 19:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The page is correct. The Airport and East Hills line uses the above ground platforms (either platsform 20 - 23). The non used platforms (except for storage) are still there, directly above platforms 24 & 25. There is talk of using them for the proposed Redfern to Chatswood railway line, Sydney.

message: Hi there,
the s-line template didn't let me introduce a "line interchange" and I couldn't edit it to do so (hell, took me hours to understand the whole crap ;-)
If you like this, someone should alter s-line at least from
 </code>
to
  ↔

(maybe the {{#ifexist:Template: lines/branches...-thing as well) and from
 
to
 
introducing a field "line2"!

message: In the Sydney Metro newsletter covering July to September 2018 it makes note that the existing (now-demolished) Platform 15 is/was not used for train service.  Perhaps someone who can properly cite this and is more familiar with this station and can confirm this can add that fact.  It also needs to be corrected in the infobox, as it currently says only the two existing underground platforms (24 & 25) are unused.  Apparently, once the underground metro station is built, platforms 13 & 14 will be rebuilt, but it's unclear what will replace platform 15.  If anyone can find that out, that'd be great.  BTW, here is the website to update all of the work that's gone on for the new metro station under Central: https://www.sydneymetro.info/citysouthwest/project-overview --Criticalthinker (talk) 10:00, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Wrote the Sydney Metro folks.  They say Platform 15 was never used for passengers, and was only ever used for maintenance, and will not be replaced. --Criticalthinker (talk) 02:22, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
