Good clip. Hope you enjoyed your visit. A couple of points that might clarify one or two things. - Current frequencies are every 4 mins (peak), 10 min (off-peak) and 7 min, increasing to 5 mins (in the lurch time inter-peak). - If you shot your clip recently you might have experienced current school holiday crowds. - The trains currently have six cars, but the system allows them to be expanded to 8. Frequency can be increased to at least 20 services per hour. These two factors allow for future service growth. - The 'plain wall' at Barangaroo is a temporary false wall that will open into another entrance/exit being created as adjacent buildings under construction are connected to the station. - The wide distance between platforms at Gadigal and Martin Place is due to the platforms being under two different parallel streets (apparently it's less complicated than constructing them under buildings).
The light tunnel (Muru Giligu - Path of Light) connects the 2 Metro Station concourses. Because of the big old heritage bank building above there, they couldn't easily build a continuous concourse.
the design of the statios are amazing but the art installations are poor, look already outdated or are executed badly, the tiles for the tile factory hommage look wild and annoying and the bushes or tree branches look like big wasp nest in the middle of the stationwalls, not pleasant at all. art installions should be just kept outside of these stations. the yellow tunnel art on wall looks just awful. the muru giligu light installation is ok-ish but thats all.

Thanks for that info as there is a fair bit of stuff I didn’t know there. Hope you enjoyed !
Great video.
Thanks
Metro clearly needs more frequency
The full height screen doors at the underground stations separates the station air conditioning from the tunnel system.
Good to know.
Thanks for that, hope you enjoyed
The light tunnel doesn't actually take you through to the ST Martin Place station.
Thanks for that info!
