Gordon is a CityRail railway station located in the suburb of Gordon, Sydney, Australia. It lies on the North Shore line. Many trains from downtown Sydney terminate at Gordon Station, and reverse direction to go back toward the city.
Gordon station now has the preferred arrangement of tracks where the terminating platform is located between the two through tracks, similar to Lindfield station. Currently, Gordon has a long island platform and a siding platform.
The old mechanical lever frame, which operated the previous incarnation of the railway signals, is still in place on the platform where curious passengers can take a peek.
Due to the increasing number of passengers at Gordon station and itself being one of the main stations along the North Shore line, upgrades were proposed in 2005 by state MP Barry O'Farrell. These upgrades were the installation of Easy Access facilities, including all-weather protection on the ramps, overbridge and platforms, and two lifts.
