On Sunday 5th May, Martin Place Metro Station opened its doors to the public.

I start with the northern entrance and its impressive atrium, then down to the north concourse including the pedestrian link that connects the north and south concourses together.

The Martin Place Metro Station platform level consists of a central cavern with separate platform caverns on either side, and they are connected by 6 wide passageways.

I also cover the underground connection with the Eastern Suburbs Line, and travel up what will become the second longest escalators in the southern hemisphere.

I finish with the southern concourse and entrance to Martin Place Metro 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 Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.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.
