Macquarie University Railway Station

Macquarie University will be the first university to have its own railway station in Australia. The $2.25 billion line will link Macquarie to the north shore and the convenience of the new rail line has prompted a number of large companies like Optus to shift to Macquarie Park and North Ryde and will ultimately bring 6000 workers to the commercial precinct.
