Well, there's always a first time...  The other closures I can think of are:

Hardies, Goodyear and Sandown	199?
Camden Branch			1963
Richmond - Kurrajong		1952
Rogans Hill Line		1932
Lavendar Bay			1932?
Milsons Point (old station)	1924
Lilyvale			?
Helensburgh (old station)	?

plus various minor and special-purpose platforms.

I suppose Camden would probably be the biggest station to be closed down.

See ya,
Rolfe
