The new underground station will be crucial to relieving pressure on nearby Town Hall, the station under the most strain on Sydney’s rail network.
From the outside, the site for a $500 million metro train station under the heart of central Sydney resembles any of the high-rise developments dotting the city.
Gadigal station will be crucial to relieving pressure on nearby Town Hall, which is the busiest interchange on Sydney’s rail network and a key pinch point. Unlike at Martin Place, Gadigal will not be linked to Town Hall by an underground walkway, because transport planners wanted to avoid creating a megastation there.“The stations are deliberately kept a bit separate. If either station has a problem, they are not linked,” Lawson said. “One of the advantages of the metro network is its ability to absorb a lot of customers, particularly in disruptions.
“ is going to be one of the target stations in the CBD that a lot of people are ultimately looking to end up at,” Lawson said. Plans to name the station Gadigal were thrown into doubt early last year when the then-transport and veterans’ affairs minister David Elliott proposed an alternative, suggesting it honour Captain Reginald Saunders, the first Indigenous Australian to be commissioned as an army officer.
