CityRail network. Straddling the border of theSydney suburbs of St Peters and Newtown, it services a residential and industrial area. St Peters station opened in 1884 with the construction of the Illawarra railway line to Hurstvillecite web| work=NSWrail.net | title=South Coast Line | url=http://www.nswrail.net/lines/show.php?name=NSW:south_coast | accessdate=8 January | accessyear=2007] . The station is located in a cutting, and immediately to the east of the station the tracks pass beneath thePrinces Highway . The station has twoisland platform s each serving two tracks, of which only the western one (platforms 1 and 2) is regularly used as a stopping point for passenger trains. To the west of the station lies an incomplete island platform partially built as a plan to expand the tracks between Sydenham and Erskineville to six but it was never completed and has no tracks. The original platform buildings on platforms 1/2 were demolished in the early 1990s and replaced with modern shelters. This station does not have easy access for wheelchairs. TheClearways Project envisages that St Peters will have six tracks, with stopping trains serving only a newly built western-most island platform.Platforms/Services
