Your trip from Padstow.
A Cornish name on the East Hills line
The early Padstow Park Estate took its name from Padstow in Cornwall. The railway station opened in 1931. Shops grew around Howard Road and Padstow Parade, and the war memorial sits near the civic centre rather than out on the Georges River.
