Platforms and Service
Wollongong is the starting point of a branch service to Port Kembla, serving the Illawarra's main industrial district, although the line does not actually branch until the next station south, Coniston. The branch is served by roughly one off-peak train per hour between Wollongong and Port Kembla on weekdays, and an hourly service on weekends. A few additional services run during peak hours, including a couple of services running directly to and from Central, some continuing along the suburban Eastern Suburbs Line.
Adjacent to each of the side platforms, there is unnamed dock platforms which are used occasionally for trains that travel from Wollongong to Bomaderry (Nowra).

Famous quotes containing the words platforms and/or service:
“I would rather be known as an advocate of equal suffrage than to speak every night on the best-paying platforms in the United States and ignore it.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
