Pymble Station

Of late Cityrail has been doing a mysterious special express where it cuts out 3 stations between Gordon and Hornsby and just does the Gordo-​Tuzza-​Waitara-​Hornsby dash. I’m cheering on Monday’s because it means I am in less of a rush to get to my gym class, and another worthless station gets skipped :)
That’s our Pymbie, gateway to the worst pub on the North Shore, and an easy stop to skip. Pymbie’s weird like that. It kinda plonks you in the middle of nowhere. As someone that grew up in West Pymble I can attest to almost never using this train station in my youth, which seems absurd since my high school was in Waitara. However, the station was so far away that it was really only accessible by bus and anyone that knows Pymble avenue will tell ya that there ain’t no bus on this planet gonna get up that hill… so the buses dumped ya at Gordon Station instead.
Pymble train station only became a necessary station for me when I took on a job at the golf club behind PLC for 6 years. Even then it was a good 15 minute walk from the station to work (and I was coming via the city because I was studying computer programming at the time).
Much like the pub of the same name, this station just ain’t my scene!
