Redfern Station was transformed when the new southern aerial concourse and 2 new entrances opened on Sunday 8th October 2023.

And it was quite an occasion with NSW premier Chris Minns and NSW Transport Minister Jo Haylen officially opening these new bits!

I start with the new entrance on Little Eveleigh Street which has been built within a heritage warehouse building that is almost 100 years old.

I'll then give you a tour of the new Southern Aerial Concourse and explain some of the architectural and design features used.

You'll then see the new stairways and 6 new lifts, along with a special skyway that goes to the lift and stairs for platforms 8&9.

I'll then finish with a tour of the Marian Street entrance, and talk about future plans for lifts to platforms 11 & 12.

Within this video are short chats with phil‪@sydneytrainsvlogs‬, Sharath‪@BuildingBeautifully‬, Elliot‪@tsetstransport‬, and Matthew at‪@AheadMatthewawsome‬.

And I also interviewed a couple of people within Novo Rail, who are the principal contractors for this Redfern Station Upgrade

Also included is some construction footage of the Little Eveleigh Street entrance, the Marian Street entrance and the New Southern Aerial Concourse.

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 Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.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