Denistone station is, frankly, an anomaly. The station was the last addition to the T9 Northern Line, opening only in 1937, and has had notably low patronage ever since. The station surprises everyone when they learn it exists. It’s that random station between Eastwood and West Ryde that no one seems to use. And that's not to mention the suburb, which is host to its own peculiarities; it's had no new development for over 50 years. It’s mocked, it’s memed, and today, we’re going to find out why.

Denistone station is actually currently being upgraded, with work well under way the day I visited. The upgrade is mostly unremarkable - the addition of some lifts, a new accessible parking spot, some other minor changes - so I didn't mention it in the video.
