Bankstown Station will become the terminus of Sydney Metro when the City & South West Extension opens in 2024.
The work to make this happen is huge! It will involve demolishing part of the existing Sydney Trains platform at Bankstown Station, to make way for a new public plaza and 2 new station entrances.
Two new straight platforms will be built for Sydney Metro, along with a services building and significant changes to the track layout.
Major changes will also be made to the west side of Bankstown Station. This includes extending the platform and reconfiguring the junction and siding to fulfil the stations future role as a Sydney Trains terminus.
In this video, I'll take you on a tour of the existing station, which had a major upgrade in 2015. I'll show you the heritage buildings, some of which date back to 1909.
I'll then explain all the work that will happen to convert Bankstown Station into a Sydney Metro and Sydney Trains Terminus.

COVID-19
Most of my videos are recorded several weeks before being edited and uploaded. I always follow the government COVID-19 advice and requirements that applied on the day of filming. This is why you sometimes see me wearing a mask and at other times you don't. If you're watching this video during a Sydney lockdown, then please note that it was filmed at a time prior to these restrictions coming into effect.
Accuracy
I do my best to make the commentary in these videos as accurate as possible by checking facts on the internet and other sources. However, sometimes the information isn't available, so I'll use my railway knowledge and insight to explain something to the best of my ability. If accuracy is important, do check the comments, as other viewers will often pick up on things I've missed or any mistakes made. Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.
Construction Sites, Maintenance Facilities and other Private Property
All footage of construction sites, maintenance facilities and other private property is taken from a public vantage point. The only exception is if it's an open day or I have special permission to access the site. The iPhone's small lens and zoom function makes it easier to film through small gaps in hoardings or fencing, so it may look like I'm on site when I'm not! If you would like to know the exact filming location, then ask me in the comments.
