Artarmon is a CityRail railway station on the North Shore railway line in Sydney, Australia, in the residential suburb of Artarmon.
The rail line cuts through the middle of Artarmon, with only limited road access between the two sides. The platform is raised approximately two metres above street level due to the slope of land near the station. Two pedestrian tunnels cross under the rail line, with access to the station available via stairs from the larger tunnel.
The limited width of the station means that there are no automatic ticket barriers. Passengers must walk to the ticket machines and ticket counter in the middle of the platform to purchase a ticket.
[edit] Platforms/Service
The station is served by four trains per hour most of the time, with additional trains at peak hours. Originally, not all trains on the North Shore Line stopped at Artarmon, with some "fast" trains skipping from Chatswood directly to St Leonards and then on to North Sydney. In the 2006 timetable, all trains now stop at Artarmon due to its high patronage.
