Docklands is a Wentworth Metro station on the Rawson Line and Brighton Line. It serves the inner city suburb of Docklands, in the Wentworth central business district.
The station has an out-of-station interchange with the Wentworth Light Rail Transit via Docklands LRT station.
==History==
Docklands station opened in 1934 as part of the first stage of the Rawson Line, and was one of the eight original stations built in the Wentworth Metro network. It originally received most of its ridership from dock workers, during the Wentworth Docklands' heyday as the city's primary industrial port.
After World War II, the containerisation of the freight transport industry led to the docklands' decline, and the area became derelict by the 1970s. Services at Docklands station reflected this trend, with services being gradually cut to as few as two trains per hour during peak time and eventually no services before 7 am or after 7 pm. Ridership dropped to almost zero, and the station was by far the least-used station in the network. Due to the almost non-existent ridership, the station became permanently unstaffed after February 1974, after which it became a dangerous crime hotspot along with the rest of the Docklands area. In response, the government closed the station entrances outside of the 7 am to 7 pm period, and contemplated permanently closing the station. Perhaps fortunately for the transport authorities, proposals to permanently close the station never came to fruition, as the Wentworth prefectural government planned an urban renewal project for Docklands in the 1980s.
