Station Signs

I like railway station signs. So here are some random examples that I have photographed which gives you an idea of the range of station signs around on the CityRail system here in Sydney.



Left - Blue & white sign at Campbelltown. This is the newest style of station sign. In the background there is an Endeavour train used in regional areas.

Left - Granville station sign. One advantage of the new style of sign is the amount of information that can be placed on it including interchange, way finding and Easy Access information. There is no colour coding, though.















Left - Original style station sign and bench at St James on the City Circle.


Below - Station signs at Museum on the City Circle. For some reason, St James has been colour coded green and Museum has been colour coded brown. Despite being upgraded, both of these stations retain the old style feel.


















Left - Colour coded station sign at Minto (or as it is pronounced by locals "Minno"). This type of sign is being replaced. The line under the station name shows the line colour on system maps but the maps and the line colours have been changed.


Below - mixture of colour coded and old style station signs at Leightonfield station.



















Left - old style sign at Riverstone in western Sydney.
