Crows Nest Station

Crows Nest Station is an underground station, about 25 metres below ground level, located in the Crows Nest residential area.

The station provides new metro rail access to the Crows Nest residential area and serves people within walking and cycling distance. It improves travel to local schools, businesses and Crows Nest village. The station creates a new transport focus on the southern side of the St Leonards specialised centre which supports the St Leonards southern gateway to commercial and mixed-use activities.

The station includes:

• A pedestrian crossing with traffic lights at the Pacific Highway/Oxley Street intersection
• Pedestrian crossings on Clarke, Hume and Oxley streets
• Bike parking at both station entries
• On-road marked cycle links on Hume and Oxley streets
• Kiss and ride and taxi bays on Clarke Street
• Existing bus stops close to the station retained on the Pacific Highway
• Wayfinding signage and Sydney Metro information.
