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...

Walking from Melbourne to Ballarat

Image
Between 8:30PM on the 24th of June 2021 and 10PM on the 25th of June 2021, I walked from my home in the inner-suburbs in Melbourne and ended up at Ballarat railway station, a journey of 111km. I was originally going to write a blog post about the trip as a whole, describing all the roads I went down and stuff like that. Problem is, I am a terrible writer and I was never satisfied with what I wrote for that blog, so I am going to just make a post about some of the moments I had doing this long and ardous trip. The public toilet map lied to me There is a website known as the National Public Toilet Map that does exactly what it says on the tin, show you a map of toilets. While it has been useful to me on numerous occassions, this trip was not one of those times. The map informed me that there was a toilet at a BP in Caroline Springs that had a toilet avaliable at all times of day, however, upon asking if I could use the toilet, I was informed that the toilet was closed and would not open...
