Summary
DescriptionThe second Sydney station platforms, 1874-1906.jpg |
English: The second terminal station was designed by the Railways Chief Engineer John Whitton (who designed the Zig Zag railway in the Blue Mountains). It opened in 1874 on the same site as the first station and continued to be known as Redfern. Whitton described the station as a through station to allow for the future expansion of the railways. While the brick and stone building was impressive when first built, by the 1880s platforms (up to 13 in total) had spread to the forecourt area. In 1899 there were 25 million passenger visits to the terminal station and the site was simply too restrictive and congested for any more development |
