  Real Estate Agent | Sydney North Shore Australia REAL ESTATE
The suburbs of Mosman, Cremorne, North Sydney and Lane Cove which are adjacent to the harbour are often referred to as the Lower North Shore, one of most affluent areas of Sydney.
The north shore was more rugged than the southern shore and western areas of the harbour, and had limited agricultural potential.
The North Shore Line was originally built in the 1890s to link the settlements in the area, and suburban development gradually expanded.

Boats were secured to this line to enable then to ply between the ship and shore with the boxes stacked in the houses.

 Metro line shifting to the North Shore - National - smh.com.au
But the report says a line under the central spine of the CBD that would then tunnel under Sydney Harbour and join the network at St Leonards was the best option to ease worsening congestion on the CityRail network.
The line would improve travel times between North Sydney and the CBD, provide a short cut from the eastern suburbs to North Sydney and directly link the south-west and north-west sectors to the city.
The report says the line could be needed as early as 2010, with investigations pointing to a "potentially serious lack of capacity in the metropolitan network", especially in the corridor between Chatswood/St Leonards in the north and Redfern/Eveleigh/Erskineville in the south".

Central (also known as Sydney Terminal) is the largest railway station in Sydney, Australia, which services almost all of the lines on the CityRail network, and is the major terminus for intercity and interstate rail services.
The remoteness of Central from the commercial centre of Sydney stimulated the construction of the Sydney underground railways at an earlier date than the equivalent in Melbourne where the main stations were in the CBD.
The platforms at Sydneys Central Station are numbered from 1 to 27, with 1 being the westernmost platform and 27 being one of the easternmost.
