This is my latest update on the major upgrade to Sydney Central Station, as part of the Sydney Metro Project.

The vast majority of the footage was taken in March 2023, with some earlier footage to compare the changes with now.

I start with the new Chalmers Street entrance which continues to evolve and the Randle Lane side has now changed massively! This includes some footage of the new lifts and escalators that lead down to Central Walk.

I then cover the lift and north escalators to platforms 22 & 23 that opened earlier in March. This includes taking a ride in a brand new Central Walk lift!

I'll then give you an update on the remaining Central Walk escalators and lifts that will service platforms 16 to 21.

I then reveal the changes to the Metro Concourse, starting with a new temporary connection to the Southern Tunnel.

I then show you all the lifts and escalators up to platforms 12 to 14, and then glimpses of the escalators and lifts that go down to the Sydney Metro Platforms.

It's then a quick update on the northern concourse, including some artwork and a ticking clock!

And then finally, an update on platforms 12 to 14 at Sydney's Central Station, and this includes a guided virtual tour of platforms 12 and 13, and on train footage of platform 14.

By the end of this video, you'll be bang up to date on the "once in a lifetime" changes at Sydney's Central 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 Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.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.
