2. 车站里的零售商店也将获得重新装修

而Wynyard火车站也将会是以后新的价值60亿澳元的Barangaroo项目的交通中转站。

预计每天上下班高峰期将会有成千上万的乘客涌到Wynyard火车站，再转往悉尼各区。

规划审批Wynyard火车站的升级计划将会在几个月内批出。

预计在施工过程中，乘客们遇到一些不便。

自从联盟党新州政府2011年上台以来，已经对20各火车站进行了升级工作。

新州政府拨款了7.7亿澳元来进行整改新州火车站的升级计划。

Sydney’s third-busiest station Wynyard on track to join 21st century, with $100 million revamp

Third busiest station in Sydney labelled ‘third world’
Important transport link to Barangaroo
Redesign will see wider gates and better signage

SYDNEY’S third-busiest train station and a key Barangaroo transport link will be given a $100 million revamp as part of an overhaul of the CBD’s “third world” standard stations.

Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian will today endorse a plan to restore the city’s ageing city stations, with Wynyard station set for its biggest facelift in decades.

The Daily Telegraph can also reveal construction contracts for the redevelopment of the heritage listed underground Museum station are expected to be finalised by October.

The key projects, along with an $8 million upgrade of Town Hall station announced in March, are in response to commuter and business feedback that CBD stations needed a facelift.

Circular Quay station will also have a new lift installed.

“Everyone knows that Wynyard station is a relic of the past, and frankly it is time to upgrade one of Sydney’s busiest transport hubs and give customers what they deserve,” Ms Berejiklian said.

The Wynyard station upgrade will include an overhaul of the concourse and ticket area, including wider ticket gates, new signage to make it easier for patrons to move around, re-tiling, an upgrade of retail outlets, a new paint job and new light fittings.

Ms Berejiklian said the re-design would see less “clutter” on the platforms.

Wynyard station is the gateway to the $6 billion Barangaroo development, and will move thousands of extra customers during peak times.

“Barangaroo’s development, the construction of Wynyard Walk and the proposed light rail line linking Circular Quay to Central and on to Randwick and Kingsford will only make Wynyard more important to Sydney public transport customers.”

Planning approvals for the upgrade will begin within months and customers are expected to experience some inconvenience during construction.

Sydney Business Chamber executive director Patricia Forsythe spent years arguing for upgrades of the CBD rail stations.

“Frankly, I think the major city rail stations look like they belong in the “third world”, Ms Forsythe said.

“The congestion and overall quality of their appearance is not acceptable for a city such as Sydney.

“Upgrades of the stations get a big tick from us. In many ways this will be the outwardly visible sign of the priority the government has given in modernising rail transport in NSW.”

The Museum station is being upgraded under the state’s $770 million Transport Access Program, which has seen 20 stations receive accessibility upgrades since the 2011 election.

Museum will have new lifts, toilets, security upgrades and ramps installed as part of its refurbishment.

Summer Hill resident Sonia Marques catches the train to Wynyard for work every day.

Ms Marques supported the upgrade of the historic station.

“I just hope they retain some of its old character,” Ms Marques said.
