Vineyard is between Rouse Hill and Windsor , the railway station is on the Richmond line so I am guessing it is the next station after Schofield's.

Riverstone is between Vineyard and the relocated Schofields station and Pony is correct, out my way. The "new" Schofields station is actually the planned and relocated Nirimba station (moved 600 metres north of its planned site). The then 2008 Labor Government helped out a Labor mate (from the available "evidence") and had the planned Nirimba station moved 600 metres north (then removed the original Schofields station which was a further 850 metres north of the "new" location). Yes, I remain bitter and twisted..
