This is a super detailed video on the massive upgrade at the Sydney Central Station, as part of the Sydney Metro Project.

It includes footage from February to early August 2022, and follows on from my last update in January 2022.

I start with the new Chalmers Street entrance which has progressed rapidly in the last 6 months.

I then cover the 15 new escalators and 4 new lifts for the Sydney Central Station suburban through platforms (platforms 16 to 23).

You'll then learn how Central Walk will link with the Sydney Metro Concourse and the Eastern Suburbs Concourse to platforms 24 and 25.

This video then covers the resurrection of platforms 13 and 14 at Sydney's Central Station, including progress on the new track, lifts, escalators and canopies.

After a short steam interlude, I then bring you up to date on the northern concourse, and include flashbacks to 2018, so you can see how different it is now!

I then finish with the Sydney Metro concourse and how it links with the northern concourse, Central Walk and the southern tunnel.

By the end of this video, you'll have a detailed understanding of the "once in a generation" changes at Sydney's Central Station.

Thank you very much to More Locations for allowing me to use parts of his 2018 Central Station Tour video.

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.

Construction Sites
All footage of construction sites, is taken from a public vantage point. 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.
