NSW LGAs and their train stations.

This week is yet another week where I do not really have a blog post, mostly just showing something I have been spending some time on. Sorry about that, computer issues have made it difficult to write a proper post.

Last week I made mention of possibly making a spreadsheet comprising of NSW LGAs, and how many of them each one had.

Well, I ended up making that, so here it is!

Station list largely consists of every station of New South Wales (that is not a part of Sydney), and the LGA that station is located in.

Station count just shows the LGA and the number of stations located in that LGA.

Some notes:

- About fifty-six LGAs are featured here, and not every LGA in New South Wales even shows up on here.

- I included Canberra station on this list because the ACT only has one railway station, so I put it in here.

- The LGA with the most stations is the City of Wollongong, at a whopping 25 stations! Second place is the Central Coast Council, with a measly thirteen. The City of Wollongong consists of every station between Helensburgh and Dapto (and includes the Port Kembla branch line in its entirety).

- A few stations are in LGAs of the same name (Griffith is located in the Griffith City Council for example), something I found somewhat interesting.

- I do not have much else to say due to a lack of knowledge about New South Wales, leave some comments on this blog on the document if you like!


So that is it for this blog, you can find me rambling on twitter here, or you can subscribe to the blog for more interesting content. I am hoping that next weeks blog will be about station names on the Dandenong line, so tune in for that next Friday.

Station Names on Melbourne's Sunbury Line

Image
Moving along, we have another part of the name origin series that will be covered in this article. Today's topic, the Sunbury Line! Sunbury Line stations from the PTV map, does not include White City or Holden. This article will cover every station on the Sunbury Line from Middle Footscray to Sunbury. This includes eleven stations that are open and two that are currently closed. For information on stations such as North Melbourne, South Kensington, Footscray, you can view my article on the Williamstown line, which can be found here . With that out of the way, let us find out where some of these names come from! Middle Footscray Middle Footscray's name is of obvious origin, being right in between Footscray and West Footscray. I have already written in an earlier post that Footscray is named after the town of Foots Cray in England. West Footscray Footscray is the westernmost of the Footscray area's three stations and is located in the suburb of the same name. Prior to Septem

Station Names on Melbourne's Williamstown Line

Hi there! This post is the second part of a multipart series documenting the origins of the names given to stations that are apart of the Melbourne Metro network. This week's post will cover the fairly quiet Williamstown Line, which will include stations shared with the Werribee line, such as Newport and Yarraville. But before we get into this week's topic, I just want to mention a few things: Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who has read the blog in the past few days, my post about the names of Melbourne's City Loop stations seemed to go down pretty well. Secondly, thank you to everyone who gave me feedback on how to improve this blog. I have added new information about Melbourne's City Loop, which you can read here. Thirdly, the next part of this series will cover the station's served by the Werribee Line, coming in two weeks. Next week's post will not have anything to do with station names. Now, with all that all said and done, let us head towards the m

Station Names on Melbourne's Upfield Line

And now we return to the names of Melbourne's train stations. For this part, the Upfield Line will be covered! Now let us cover the thirteen open and one closed station on this line! Macaulay  Macaulay is named after nearby Macaulay Road, which runs just south of the station. Flemington Bridge An odd name, Flemington Bridge is named after the bridge that carries Mount Alexander Road over the Moonee Ponds Creek . The name of Flemington is something that I have already covered in an earlier blog post, which you can find here .  Flemington Bridge's name has nothing to do with this bridge over Flemington Road Flemington Bridge originally opened as juat 'Flemington'. Royal Park Royal Park Station is smack bang in the middle of Royal Park. The name seems to have been inspired by the Royal Parks of London , which are named as such due to being owned by members of the Royal Family. Jewell This station is named after James Jewell, an MP serving the Brunswick Electorate from 191
