Hope St Platform was a railway-employee only station on the Flemington-Campsie Goods Line in Sydney, Australia that opened on 15 August 1927.[1][2] Railway workers including shunters, drivers, fitters, etc. from the various railway workshops between Delec and Enfield South used Hope Street station to get to and from work.[citation needed] Hope Street is named because of its locality to a side street off Cosgrove Road near the station. The station and Up Main were closed when the rebuilt Enfield Yard opened in 1996.
