I visited Banyo station on 18 November 2017.
Banyo station is located on the Shorncliffe Line and is served by all train services traveling between Shorncliffe and Roma Street with many continuing to Cleveland. Banyo is located 12.8 km from Roma Street and the approximate travel time is 28 minutes.
Banyo is situated in zone 2 meaning the fares between Banyo and Roma Street are:
Banyo station opened in 1882 as Clapham Junction as it was expected to be the junction of the North Coast line which it was later decided in 1897 that the junction would be at Northgate station so it was renamed Banyo after the word from the local Turrabul Indigenous word meaning ridge. The line was duplicated in 1901 and it was electrified on 18 September 1982. On 14 September 2012, a semi-trailer became stuck on the level crossing and was struck by a northbound train causing it to be thrown into a southbound service disturbing train services on the line most of the day. No one was seriously injured.
The station itself consists of two side platforms. Platform 1 is used for inbound services and platform 2 is used for outbound services.
Banyo station has four entrances. One for each platform at the level crossing one to platform 1 from Royal Parade and one to platform 2 from the intersection of St Vincents Road and Tufnell Road.
Banyo does have disability access however assistance is required due to the level crossing.
There are bus stops nearby the station on St Vincents Road and Tufnell Road. serving nearby suburbs. The route that serves Banyo station is 306.
