Parking at Macdonaldtown Railway Station on Burren Street
The station does not have a general commuter car park. Transport for NSW lists an accessible parking space and an accessible kiss and ride space as part of the Macdonaldtown Station Upgrade (transport.nsw.gov.au). The station entrance is from the Burren Street underpass, with staff present from 6am to 2pm on weekends and public holidays (Wikipedia).
Drivers looking for a station facility should therefore distinguish the accessible space from ordinary commuter parking. Transport for NSW describes the upgrade as adding a lift for access to the platforms, subway and surrounding streets, rather than providing a general parking area (transport.nsw.gov.au). The station is at 39 Pine Street, Newtown, near Eveleigh.
