Central Station's "Grand Concourse"


These photographs were all taken at 8am on a Sunday. Hence, the sparsity of travellers! My Central Coast train left from Platform 9 at 8:15am.


When I returned at about 2:30pm, hundreds of people alighted from my train alone. Other than week-day peaks, I should think that Saturday arvo is one of the busiest times for train travel in my state. People seem to come to the city for the major-league football.


All railway stations in the CBD are having cosmetic renovations. The renos at Central are just about complete. The renos at Wynyard Station are a challenge to negotiate.

    Much busier there during rush hours.

    The main station down in Toronto has just finished up several years of renovations. When I was last down there, they were still in the midst of it.

    I love that part of the station. Blimey they were renovating Wynyard last time I was there.

    I can see some similarities in the arches in Central Station to those of Flinders Street Julie.

    I like the doors and windows here.
    Our station is sooooo small compared to this:)

    I just love those big arched spaces and shines floors and sense of a past era. I like all things train actually.
