Design
A perceived deficiency of the station is that there is only one island platform on the four track section of the Illawarra line, meaning that services using the 'Illawarra local' tracks have no means to stop at Wolli Creek. Though there are a set of points immediately south of the station to allow trains to cross-over from the 'Illawarra local' tracks to the 'Illawarra main' tracks to access platforms 3 and 4. Also, trains from the East Hills line travelling on to Tempe and Sydenham have no platforms at which to stop at Wolli Creek. This deficiency has been identified by RailCorp, and there are long term plans to construct additional platforms at Wolli Creek to enable better interchange of services.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“Teaching is the perpetual end and office of all things. Teaching, instruction is the main design that shines through the sky and earth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again. Suicide will be for me only one means of violently reconquering myself, of brutally invading my being, of anticipating the unpredictable approaches of God. By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
