    • Abstract:
      Now the new, $716 million adaptation of Central Station by Sydney's Woods Bagot and London's John McAslan + Partners (JMP), led by contractor Laing O'Rourke, is moving toward a remedy, set to open in 2024. The project has three main elements: the long north-south metro platforms, 80 feet beneath two existing intercity rail platforms; the east-west Central Walk that links to these from a new, eastern street entrance; and the lofty new "urban room", known as the Northern Concourse, that mediates between the new metro station and the old sandstone building. BUILDING TYPE STUDY 1,032 URBAN TRANSPORTATION IT IS ONE of the great joys of train travel to pop up on arrival right in the city center. [Extracted from the article]
