Synopsis

Waterloo Station focused on two sisters, both married to policemen, and their adult children starting careers in the police force. The main locations were a police station, a police training academy in Sydney, and a large boarding house that provided accommodation for several characters.

Waterloo Station was an attempt by Grundy's to reproduce for Channel Nine the success of their earlier shows The Restless Years and The Young Doctors which focused on youth situations. Like Crawford Productions' successful police series Cop Shop,[2] Waterloo Station combined police procedural elements with domestic situations involving the police personnel and their families.

The series was recorded at the Eric Porter studios in North Sydney.

Screening

The series was programmed against the popular new series Carson's Law in key markets including Melbourne, and achieved only mediocre ratings. It was cancelled after 40 episodes. Andrew Clarke, Danny Roberts and Sally Tayler all subsequently found greater success as regular cast members of another Grundy produced soap opera, Sons and Daughters.

After Waterloo Station, on 18 April 1983, Grundy launched Starting Out which featured youthful characters attempting to enter the medical profession. This series was similarly short-lived.
