No idea! They tunnelled under fields too

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 3h

Shorter platforms than other lines but still with screen doors. Lifts & single pair of escalators to each platform. Looks pretty nice, the standard we'd expect from Metro - if there was anything here! There's not even a road.

Community Open day at LUDDENHAM Station on the new WSI Line. Most obvious impression is this is the middle of absolutely nowhere and there's nothing here at all. Two platforms on a big viaduct in a cool looking shed-like structure. (1/2)

Even on the renders this looks like the saddest goddamn place, look at old mate here contemplating what she did to deserve this

A render showing a woman sitting by herself, evidently in thought, on bland concrete steps in full sunlight with nearly all the seating just out of the shade of a tree

Yeah it's just a shockingly bad effort

Council already owns all the buildings, having slowly been purchasing them since the 80s. I'd imagine much of the cost is just from the demolition and filling/walling in all the basements.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

All the buildings to be cleared already have basements that could be repurposed - including what is currently a food court. I reckon this dead corner in the square is going to be an area to avoid, especially at night. At least put something there! There's some bold visions here, but the execution?

The trees in the render are easily four stories tall, that's pretty big

We have so many better examples. Parramatta Sq is better!

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Trees take ages to grow, the building on George St is heritage listed, so the view from QVB is just a big blank wall? At street level it'll be gross along there. Could have an underground arcade connecting the station from the east. Currently it's a narrow staircase and a fair walk to the one lift.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Now the plans for Town Hall Sq are out, I think it should be sent back to the drawing board. All underground spaces filled/closed. Wollies exit to the station walled off. No retail, food/bev. Not even toilets. Big blank walls facing north. Missed opportunity to improve station accessibility too.

For 50 years we’ve let Woollahra off the hook. It’s time the suburb learnt to share

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah it's just a handful of signs on the platforms that say "suburban"

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah it'd be Kingsford Smith if anything. Transport NSW has been replacing the airport icons on road signs across Sydney with SYD ✈️. I'm surprised (disappointed) they're not renaming the stations in a similar way.

030

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah. It might have been a problem in the 90s but I don't know anyone who calls the airport "Mascot" today

"Suburban" yet it's all high density apartments, shops, office blocks and even high density multi-storey light-industry complexes

Why bother with expensive sandstone when some cheap LEDs can make roughly finished concrete look great?

In another timeline they could have acquired one of the boring little office blocks over the road and put the station entrance there. Still would have had to close the square for construction but at least the whole thing would have been returned.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I wish all transit was seen as so vital that a few doors being temporarily out of service got such media attention and such pressure on the minister.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yeah pretty clear what the motivation of council was to dive on such an inane technicality.

Politics is all about compromise sometimes 🤷 In Sydney at least it's given cover to possibly the most significant reforms in decades. So like you say, we'll take what we get. But I take your point.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

An interesting one: fight over language of the state's low/mid-rise zoning, measuring walking distance "as far as reasonably practicable, public footpaths and pedestrian crossings" Developer used route via lanes (pic) NIMBY council lent on the use of ped x-ings language. Court sided with council.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Perhaps they could have had trains say "via Flinders St (Town Hall)" which I think everyone in Victoria would instantly understand.

(says the guy from the city with trains that say Hornsby via Hornsby)

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I did think "via the Metro Tunnel" is a tad vague for Aussies who tend to think about going to the "city"

The first bit of the over-station development at Waterloo has opened, including this nice public plaza at the station's south exit. No sign of any retail tenants yet but there's still a couple more towers to come.

We would currently have a lot more art deco flats in Woollahra Council if not for 100 years of tradition of upholding bans explicitly initiated to keep the poors out. The street in Rose Bay mentioned at the end recently got declared a mid-rise zone by Minns under the LMR. 🎉

Had a great time in Melb as always. The Melb CBD has the highest pop density of any area in Aus. Couldn't stop thinking tho of the missed opportunity from giving up so much public space for just a handful of on-street car parks. CoM can do great stuff with public spaces. Low hanging fruit!

2 names for 1 station: undersells interchanges but ok whatever. Reusing platform numbers: ok that's gonna trip some people up. Reusing exit numbers when the concourse is shared: ok that's stupid. Having the wayfinding map not even show the popular exit right in front of it: that's just mean.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I find it jarring having such big structures taking up the footpath. I believe they took away some traffic lanes for it so I am just having a whinge I guess. The footprint of the escalators is huge!

100x better amenities than Sydney Central. Love having a supermarket on the concourse, peak convenience. Love the colours too

1- interesting choice of ceiling finishes. Lots of bare concrete in the fit out which I get some people find harsh 2- good lord these platforms are massive. I assume there's plans to make the HCMTs longer one day?

Likewise Market St has 3 lanes of one-way traffic, a parking lane for taxis, no space for bikes at all, and possibly the most overcrowded footpaths in Sydney. Yet the tunnel underneath is underused.

041

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I would like to find out who in Transport NSW insisted the only way to extend the King St bike lane was to narrow the busy footpath, not narrow the road. And I want them fired.

Every Sydney Station @sydneystations.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

It's just generally bad by design. Many examples of it recommending slower, longer trips in Sydney because it has a huge bias against walking and transfers.
