Granville railway station is a major station in the suburb of Granville, Sydney. The station is at the junction of CityRail's Western and South lines and has traditionally served as a transfer station between these two lines, a role that has been diluted somewhat since the opening of the Cumberland Line in 1996. The station is also served by some intercity trains of the Blue Mountains Line.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“It was evident that the same foolish respect was not here claimed for mere wealth and station that is in many parts of New England; yet some of them were the “first people,” as they are called, of the various towns through which we passed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
