Oatley Railway Station
OATLEY RAILWAY STATION STATION OPENING The line from Hurstville to Sutherland was opened on 26th December, 1885 and continued to Waterfall on 6th March, 1886. How was it that the Railway Department determined that a station would be provided at Oatley? A deputation of residents from the area met the Minister for Public Works in January, 1886, and proposed that stations be provided near Hurstville (i.e. at Penshurst) and at Oatley. The Minister, Jacob Garrard, acknowledged that, in relation to Oatley, the “gradient is very great, which is a serious objection”. Notwithstanding this problem, Garrard acknowledged that a station would “meet the conveniences of the residents” and he, therefore, resolved to submit the idea of a station at Oatley to the officers of the Railway Department for report.1 No Railway official seemed to question the Minister’s wisdom, notwithstanding the problem of the gradient. Voila! A station appeared. In 1886, the total population of Oatley was nine people who lived in two houses.2 Was the station opened for the “convenience” of just nine people or was there another motive. Was one of those nine people an influential person who was able to direct the Minister to approve the provision of a station? The Minister’s remarks dismiss what author, William Bayley, states as the reason for the construction of the station. Bayley wrote that the station was provided for tourism.3 The reason for the provision of the station remains a mystery. The station at Oatley opened in 1886 but the press and the public called it Oatley’s. -
