Platforms and Services
With only three CityRail services on weekdays, and two on weekends, since a 2005 reduction in services, Goulburn station only sees trains in the early morning and evenings. A replacement bus service operates to Goulburn in the late morning, returning to Moss Vale in the early afternoon. Two CountryLink XPT services and two Xplorer services per day also use the station, heading to Melbourne and Canberra, the Saturday morning Canberra service also having a service to Griffith which divides from the Canberra service at the station. To comply with disabled access and so passengers do not have to cross the station footbridge, trains generally only use Platform 1 (for both directions). Platform 2 is used only occasionally.

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)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
