Platforms and Services
Traditionally, services operate in a loop from the city via Sydenham to Bankstown, then on to Lidcombe, returning to the city via the Inner West Line and vice-versa. In more recent years alternate trains on the line have been extended to Liverpool station. Direct services to Blacktown have previously operated via a loop connection to the Main Western Line near Lidcombe. Bankstown is currently served by four trains per hour during the day and two trains per hour at other times.
The station is served by four trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.

Famous quotes containing the words platforms and/or services:
“The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions .... You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you’re not going to change each other’s minds. It’s a waste of your time and my time.”
—Barbara Bush (b. 1925)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
