Really helpful. Thanks for sharing. I always took the train which cost me about $38 return, bit of a pain. I'll follow your instructions when I'm in Sydney again next month :)
I missed the new entrance. I used the station regularly for a decade and was in ‘automatic’ mode the last time I passed through. I’ll have to check it out next time.
My flight arrives into Sydney at 930pm. Will I be able to take the bus to mascot from the international terminal and then take the train to town hall station?
By train, you would go from Sydney Airport to Wolli Creek on the T8 and then Wolli Creek to Hurstville on the T4. A cheaper option is bus 420 from Airport to Rockdale station and then train to Hurstville on T4.
