Station Layout
The rail line cuts through the middle of Artarmon, with only limited road access between the two sides. Access to Artarmon station is provided by a pedestrian tunnel with its west entrance situated slightly north of the intersection of Hampden Road and Broughton Road and its east entrance at the intersection of Elizabeth Street and Tindale Road.
The platform is raised approximately two metres above street level due to the slope of land near the station. Two pedestrian tunnels cross under the rail line, with access to the station available via stairs from the larger tunnel (marked with CityRail signage). The limited width of the station means that there are no automatic ticket barriers. Passengers must walk to the ticket machines and ticket counter in the middle of the platform to purchase a ticket. Artarmon has one island platform with two tracks and is not an Easy Access station as there is only a staircase leading to the platform; passengers requiring accessible services may use the next stations north and south: Chatswood and St Leonards, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
