Lysaghts Station is a request stop on the Port Kembla Branch, a short 6 km railway that runs through the regional city of Wollongong. The station is unique in that it sits entirely on private land, and solely exists to serve the Bluescope Lysaght Steelworks in Spring Hill. For this reason, only factory workers can leave the station; members of the public are strictly not allowed out. Stations like this used to be commonplace around Australia, including on the Ropes Creek and Sandown Lines in Sydney. But most of these stations closed decades ago; Lysaghts might just about be the only public station remaining in Australia that members of the public cannot exit!
Notably, this does not preclude Lysaghts from being visited by members of the public, so long as those members do not attempt to leave the station. Unfortunately...the security guard at Lysaghts did not know this...because immediately upon our arrival, we were kicked out of the station...
