All stations along the line are underground. The line connects with the Illawarra Line at Erskineville Station, forming the Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra Line. Bondi Junction, Martin Place and Central stations have turnbacks for services operating along the line.
A double-track service, the Eastern Suburban Lines has eight stations connected by tunnels and viaducts. The platforms are finished in colourful tiles and terrazzo.
Bondi Junction was originally an intermediate station with a terminal capacity far below that of the line. As a result, it underwent a major redesign at the turn of the century to increase its efficiency and bring it up to the standard of other termini in the country.
