Travelling by Train and Monorail
As well as providing the key transport link
between the city and suburbs, Sydney's
railway network also serves a large part of
the central business district. The City Circle
loop is the main line running through the
city centre stopping at Central, Town Hall, Wynyard,
Circular Quay, St James and Museum. All suburban lines
connect with the City Circle at Central station. A con-
venient alternative for exploring the museums and shops
of Darling Harbour is to use the Metro Light Rail (MLR).
10 to 15 minutes at peak
times, and every 30 minutes
between midnight and 6am.
Use CityRail to get to
outlying suburbs and to the
airport. Trains run from
4:30am to about midnight.
At night, stand in the
“Nightsafe” areas marked
on the platform and use
carriages near the train guard,
signalled by a blue light. After
midnight, night-ride buses
travel along rail routes, and
all routes pick up from
George St and Town Hall.
Your return rail ticket is valid.

FINDING YOUR WAY
AROUND BY RAIL
These environmentally
friendly trains offer a quicker
and quieter way of visiting
places of interest between
Glebe and Darling Harbour,
and there are plans in the
pipeline to extend the MLR
to Circular Quay.

Operating in the Darling
Harbour Area, Sydney's
newest transport system is
the Metro Light Rail (MLR).
It runs from Central Railway
Station, along the harbourside
and through Pyrmont and
Glebe to Star City or Lilyfield.
SIGHTSEEING BY
MONORAIL AND METRO
LIGHT RAIL (MLR)
More novel than practical,
the Monorail runs along a
15-minute scenic loop
through central Sydney,
Chinatown and Darling
Harbour. It is an easy way
to travel and sightsee if you
do not feel like walking.
There are eight stops on the
Monorail route: City Centre,
Darling Park, Harbourside,
Convention, Paddy's Markets,
Chinatown, World Square and
Galeries Victoria. Trains run
from 7am-10pm, Mondays to
Saturdays and 8am-10pm
Sunday. A Monorail Day Pass
allows unlimited rides all day.
