History

Gymea station opened on 16 December 1939 when the Cronulla line opened from Sutherland to Cronulla.[2][3]

Originally, Gymea was one of two crossing loops on the line, with the other being at Caringbah. The section from Gymea to Caringbah was duplicated in 1985, and under the Rail Clearways Program, the remaining sections of single line railway from Sutherland to Gymea and Caringbah to Cronulla were duplicated in April 2010.[4][5]

Transdev NSW operates two routes via Gymea station:

gollark: This furniture budget thing probably doesn't add up to a significant amount of the total spend, so it's a bad comparison.
gollark: Apparently American healthcare spending is something like 17% of GDP for some insane reason. So it would be a big fraction of the government budget, if they ran it as efficiently as it currently operated.
gollark: Possibly. Paying people if they want to move out seems more reasonable than doing stupid things to local property markets, or whatever, or adjusting taxes so those already there can afford it.
gollark: That doesn't mean the cost can't/shouldn't be *reduced*.
gollark: Instead of incentivizing people to stay there and driving up the price.
