Station Configuration
The station consists of a centre island platform (platforms 2 and 3) and 2 side platforms (platforms 1 and 4). The western end sits atop a viaduct above street level. The entry concourses are slightly below the street level. The western concourse connects to shops and the bus interchange, which caters for local bus services as well as services for the Liverpool-Parramatta Rapid Bus Transitway and North-West T-way (T-Ways). A set of trailing points on the eastern side of the station side allows 'down' trains on the Down Main track to terminate on platform 4 and return towards the city on the 'Up Main' track. Likewise, a set of trailing points on the western side allows 'Up' trains on the Up Main track to terminate on platform 3 and return towards the west on the 'Down Main' track.
Parramatta is an Easy Access station.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
