Summary
[edit]DescriptionSydney Central Railway Station c.1906 - 6626986095.jpg |
English: Central Station is one of Sydney's major architectural landmarks. It, together with a complex of buildings that includes the Railway Institute, the former Parcels Post Office, the Mortuary Station and yards comprises the Sydney Railway Terminus precinct. This important southern gateway to the city reminds us of the grandeur and romance of rail travel in days gone by. More importantly, Central Station is a heritage icon that continues to be adapted to meet changing patterns of travel and customer needs.
The design of the main building was a collaboration between government architect, Walter Liberty Vernon, and railway engineer, Henry Deane. Their brief was to create a monumental work of stateliness and beauty which, when completed, would be the largest railway station in the Southern Hemisphere, and rival some of the grand stations in Great Britain. With its distinctive Pyrmont 'yellow block' sandstone, imposing clock tower and clever separation of train, tram, bus and foot passengers, it would become the most significant railway station in Australia. When Central Station opened in 1906, it was designed to cater for 40,000 passengers a day. Today 85,000 people pass through this vibrant railway hub on their daily journeys. Over time, while respecting the significant fabric of its original structure, the Station has adapted to meet the changing demands of the state's vast urban and rural rail network. The challenge is to maintain this outstanding complex as a relevant and dynamic portal for future generations in an environment of evolving technology and ever-changing passenger trends. www.cityrail.info/about/history/central_station_in-depth See where this picture was taken.
