Working with John McAslan + Partners, Woods Bagot has led a project to increase capacity at Sydney’s main rail hub

Woods Bagot has completed a major upgrade of Sydney Central Station, including the introduction of a new metro station. 

The existing station supports 96 percent of Sydney’s train services and sits at the heart of the city-region’s entire rail network. The new metro station has been integrated into the existing early 20th-century station building.

A spacious, top-lit hall serves as the new Northern Concourse, and a vaulted roof allows natural light to flow through the interchange.

At the heart of the upgrade is the construction of two new metro platforms, located beneath the existing Intercity platforms 13 and 14. This establishes a connection between the new Metro line and the existing suburban, intercity, and regional rail services.
