Two derelict stations still remain one either side of the Historic Pyrmont bridge, dumb thing is they could have left the elevated section intact over the bridge built entry ramps on both sides and had a great elevated cycleway crossing without all the current problems going on between city commuting cyclists / pedestrians and still had a shaded covering for walker crossing the bridge in summer.
The two station would also be good spots to convert to cafe /bicycle shop for previously mentioned cyclists.

Exactly... the infrastructure should have been re-purposed. It was there, and in very good condition. What a waste of good hardware.
