Crows Nest Station is the first new station on the Sydney Metro City and Southwest Extension. In this video, I explain the design and layout of this station, including many of the architectural features. I also provide an update on how this station looked between late January and early February 2024.

I start with the first entrance exit to Crows Nest Station which is on Pacific Highway. You'll see the bank of 3 escalators and the lift that will take passengers to the concourse level below. This large station building will also have several retail outlets, and I'll show you the location of these too.

I then cover the second entrance exit to Crows Nest Station and this is on Clarke Street, and is very close to the heart of the Crows Nest town centre. You'll see the bank of 2 escalators and the 2 lifts that will take passengers from this entrance to the concourse below.

Its then time for a virtual station tour, with a combination of artist impression images and construction photos from Sydney Metro that will help you understand the design and layout of this new station.

Throughout this video, I also talk a lot about the architectural elements, including the stunning brick finish that was inspired by the Federation period buildings that are common in the Crows Nest area.

The architects for this station are Woods Bagot, and they designed the upgraded parts of Central Station as well, and you'll see some similarities between these two stations in this video.

I then cover the services building which is an important part of Crows Nest Station, and houses the essential Sydney Metro equipment for both this station and the tunnels as well.

I also briefly talk about the integrated station developments, including the one that is already being built above the Clarke Street entrance to Crows Nest Station.

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 Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.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.
