 With the Edgecliff railway station buildings and tunnels built by 1969, and the line all the way to Bondi Junction railway station not opening until 1979, this gave the residents of Woollahra plenty of time to organise their opposition to the station.Notwithstanding the fact that, at the time, the station may have had low patronage, the local community took the NSW Government all the way to the High Court of Australia to oppose the opening of the station, an action that was lost.Despite construction work taking place, and the basic station infrastructure being constructed, community angst as well as the cost factors surrounding the project, eventually led the Government to abandon the idea of placing a functioning station there.
