In this video, I give you an update on how the new Sydney Metro stations at Crows Nest, Victoria Cross and Barangaroo were looking in early September 2023.

I start with the main entrance to Crows Nest station which is on the Pacific Highway, then move to the smaller Clarke Street entrance. I also cover the Services Building and the Over Station Developments.

Its then to the North Entrance to Victoria Cross Station which is on the corner of Miller Street and McLaren Street. This entrance is unusual in that it has lifts only, no escalators!

Then on to the South Entrance to Victoria Cross Station on Miller Street, which is now visible with one of the lift shafts now installed. I'll cover the new laneway that will provide a pedestrian link to this entrance from Denison Street and talk about the over station developments as well.

It's then across the harbour (on a ferry!) to look at Barangaroo Station. This is progressing really well with both the escalator and lift entrances now nearing completion. And from High Street, I was able to get some great views of these.

I finish with a look at the Services Pods, and the gap left by the demolition of the Acoustic Shed.

Accuracy
I do my best to make the commentary in these videos as accurate as possible by checking facts on the internet and other sources. However, sometimes the information isn't available, so I'll use my railway knowledge and insight to explain something to the best of my ability. If accuracy is important, do check the comments, as other viewers will often pick up on things I've missed or any mistakes made. Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.

Construction Sites, Maintenance Facilities and other Private Property
All footage of construction sites, maintenance facilities and other private property is taken from a public vantage point. The only exception is if it's an open day or I have special permission to access the site. The iPhone's small lens and zoom function makes it easier to film through small gaps in hoardings or fencing, so it may look like I'm on site when I'm not! If you would like to know the exact filming location, then ask me in the comments.
