Sydney Centrals Ghost Platforms
Platforms 26 & 27
Located directly above the Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra platforms 24 and 25 are the ghost platforms of Sydney Central Station.
Platforms 26 and 27.
The ghost platforms have never been used for rail and passenger traffic and were never completed.

Man you seriously need to get yourself a better torch!
How did u get down
You need to invest in a decent led 🔦 if you're going to do dark videos. I love watching footage on these platforms but could barely see anything in yours.
Agreed, shouldn't cost too much either
@@ApachePieman You can get like 5,000 Luman torches from wish for like 25 bucks
If it's to bright your gonna get done by the cameras
Budget light forum have done some crazy good torches. Super bright and really durable.
I agree. Could barely see anything
So where are the videos of the ghost platforms at Town Hall Station? Go down to platform 5 - 6 and look up the escalator to the top, look at the distance, there is a Ghost platform in between. I was working with a company assisting with some upgrading and one of the rail dudes said one day, "come with me" and wow, a complete set of platforms like new, never used? I walked from one end to the other, quite spooky. (and very dusty) I see nothing anywhere about Town Halls Ghost platforms?
It mist be another platform for the Northern Beaches line.
Oh Ive been super curious about this, I use platform 26 and 27 pretty often and I have always been intrigued by the platform 24 and 25 button in the elevator
just saw it yesrerday while iin Central
i think youve got that the wrong way around unless you use the abandoned platforms pretty often. 24-25 are the bondi/illawarra line platforms
jackjramme dude are you a girl
I wonder if you can actually press the button and go there?
The unfinished tunnels should be converted into light rail platforms. With Central station having a ungraded currently anyway for the metro line & extra future capacity while would save additional money.
How do you get in I’ve been wanting to go in for years
bump
Hey have you checked out the abandoned tunnel just before St James Train Station? I'm not sure how to get access to it (but you can see it when you arrive into St James - there's a portal) but I think you should check it out when you get the chance...
5 years after this video these platforms are finally being used as the new Sydney metro platforms
no they're not.
the metro platforms will be where platforms 13-15 were, which is stupid
Bruh
Well the numbering will be, not the location
Oh, well I guess I'm dumb. Because I saw the platform numbers of the metro and it said 26 & 27. So I assumed they used these abandoned platforms
Love your videos, I really want to go there one day.
great video Phil! i always wanted to access it myself. Would be cool if me and you could collab and do a video on the white bay power station!! if only there was a way to access it
Henrys HowTos I didn’t expect u here lol
There are hundreds of humanoid creatures that can run in the speed of light and can pass through walls. My grandfather told me not to come In because he ever saw them. Please don’t ever try to enter the tunnel! You will be teared apart alive. Don’t come in. I am not joking. God blessed.
Cool location😍 want to visit this place some day🤙🏼

Great footage, thank you Phil 😀
Was supposed to be for a rail line to the northern beaches.
they could use them to terminate the T3 Bankstown to remove it from the city circle instead of replacing the Bankstown line with metro
Creepy as….you should do that big abandoned building off Anzac Bridge and Victoria Road
That was really cool man
Why can't the NSW State Government build a metro from Central to the Northern Beaches via St James and Circular Quay considering the tunnels are already in place? Traffic is a nightmare in the area and is desperate need for efficient public transport.
Ok did anyone else see the old dude in a blue shirt just after we saw the elevator at like a minute he's on the left IN THE SQUARE!
THERES TWO PEOPLE I TOOK A SCREENSHOT OMG
You NO WHAT? I WAS GOING TO SAY SAME THING...LOL. I think it's just a guard & someone? He's probably gotten permission to go down? But whoever spotted it has a good bloody eye.
Nope. Do you have the exact time? What square?
@@childrensorg856 I'll get it up
@@childrensorg856 ok so its at 1:11 you can see two people in the corner box on the left before the elevator
Nice vlog Phil and is that the same video from your ather vlog in Sydney Trains Vlog
Zane Newton i notice these yesterday in the lift.
Okay do you have to ask staff to go on the Central ghost platform 26 and 27
on the Central to Redfern next to tracks leading to platform 9&10 you can see that there are enough room for another pair of tracks going to Central. There is 2 extra holes under bridges, up ramp going towards the flying junction etc. However this never eventuated. The T8 also took down some old track that was part of the track work from Illawarra main.
Thanks for this, Phil. It will be interesting to see if they adapt these for Metro passenger access or something.
They wont it will be an underground one underneath Playform 15.
@@TrainsForNSWVlogs they could use them to terminate the T3 Bankstown to remove it from the city circle instead of replacing the Bankstown line with metro
@@TrainsForNSWVlogsdoes raise the question as to why not tho
@@karlcx It's for the green square to mossman line which may be built
@@TrainsForNSWVlogs wow. that would be nice.
Great video! Must've took a lot of guts to go there
Sydney And Regional Trains Vlogs search up STV train vlogs and search platform 26/27 this person copied their video phil uploaded 3 years ago
Comma This channel is also run by Phil, fyi.
Yeah, it’s the exact same video.
Phil does the Sydney trains blogs and this as well?
Nice find. Are you aware of the unused tunnel at northern end of North Sydney Station. Follow tracks on west side towards Hornsby about 100-200m on the left is the extra unused tunnel. Now this was back in the 70's when I explored. Good Luck.
How did you get access to these platforms ?
Emailed Sydney Trains.
It took a while though.
Cronulla line was 24 so that makes sence to me Bondi train is where i remember, did it ever go from kings Cross
What about the St James Station platforms? And the rumour about it was going to be used for a hideout for the WW2 pacific commander. They have flooded it. And they cannot tell you if it is true or not even to this day it's WW2 secret. Saw a bit about it once fairly recently on tv.
They have shown some of Sydney's tank stream fresh water supply used for first fleet etc as they have tours I think once a year as it is underground in actual Sydney itself. I am a Australian history enthusiast.
Can you still get to these platforms with the latest renovations in central?
Hoping that the metro will reuse these platforms, even though its highly unlikely
Person from the future here: They’re not.
They are using new ones under Platform 15.
Wish i knew about these platforms,when i was in Sydney last year (easter 2019).😠
How did you enter? Im keen to go myself
He got permission from station staff. I’m pretty sure that they have a tour that occurs every once in a while. You’d be able to find it at www.thnsw.com.au/whats-on when it is on.

I got the chance to enter these platforms years ago and I met Harry Houdini.
great video
Imagine going down there in the 70s and not coming back up until today? would be a totally different world.
Well why don’t you go down there and come back out in 2073? You can experience it for yourself…
@@metroplex3k no thanks, I’ll just stick to imagining it. However you’re more than welcome to try it if you wish.😊
I heard they were used for working on the tracks of all the other tracks
I know they are using this as a plant room now, but I always wondered why they didn't use these tunnels as the new metro platforms
I think they're partly being used as pedestrian tunnels for access to the Metro
why not use them for Australia HSR
how long ago did u film this?
when was this filmed?
I know this video from a few years ago. I know this is an abandoned thing, but why did you upload this instead of waiting to do a new video of the ghost platforms?
Original video here: th-cam.com/video/qwojbOh8hws/w-d-xo.html
Why aren't these tunnels used to (temporarily at least) house the homeless?
I'd spent some time in Belmore Park (sleeping near the old retunda) around Easter 2019.
My hat goes of to the volunteer organisations (Orange Sky,and others),who operated around the area at the time.
Take care,everyone,ok.
Not fit for occupation? No toilet, running water, shower etc

Hi Phil, do you know if these platforms 26 and 27 are still accessible? My son is fascinated and wants to visit them.
Hi there :)
These platforms are now being used as a substation for Sydney Metro and are not accessible aside from Railway workers.
@@AbandonedOZ What do you mean by substation? A power convertion from AC to DC?

I too wanted to catch a glimpse before they completely finished converting it.
I’m upset that they are using them now because it’s become part of Sydney’s history these ghost platforms and they are quite legendary.
Is it still possible to catch a glimpse of them near platforms 24 and 25
It would make a great horror movie
That would be so cool! :)
Matrix?
How do you access Platforms 26 & 27
Paul Sanders Think you have to ask one of the staff members for access to the platforms
During the sydney open they sell tickets to go in. Sold out in 6 minutes last year.
@@ClamTram96 that’s sick
How did you get down to 26 and 27?
If you spammed the button on lift it used to stop there but at guess someone let him in though the stairs
This is cool but wheres platform 9 & 3/4
There’s really nothing to see except darkness.
Can I come with next time and fly a racing drone through there :)
If the staff allow it
Ever watched the movie the tunnel ausie movie
We’re the platforms ever considered to be converted for Sydney’s new metro line ?
No it will use a new underground one beneath platform 15.
why is it still there
I went to find theses last night and couldnt find it

5 min and 17 sec mark, what is that?
To gain access to places like this, all you really need to do is get yourself a hard-hat and one of those hi-vis safety vests that truckers or job-site workers wear, carry a flashlight, and some sort of impressive but fake ID badge or pass that you can flash to any officials who might confront you. Also carry a clipboard and take notes while acting as if you belong there. You might even carry a hand-held scanner or two-way transceiver to complete your image. Just a thought. ;-)
There could be ghosts 👻
with l the time the have be there the bloody line has not gone do to the beaches what a wastes of line that could be start 20 years a go may of be finish by now what a wastes
The first had to extend the tunnels under Menzies Hotel to the Illawarra platforms at Town Hall under George Street keeping them away from the other tunnels under York Street by gradually veering over to Wynyard if you are coming from the Town Hall station end. I'm not sure about the southern end because there is not enough tunnel portals at Goulburn Street for two extra tunnels. I don't know what the plan was there, using crossovers back to the western line underground I guess?
Always fascinates me how they didnt extend the eastern suburbs rail to la perouse ? With stops @ randwick coogee bronte maroubra @ la perouse !!!!
That would make a great 'dossing down ' spot at night if u were homeless!
The noise! :( Elon Musk territory?
and why is haunted
Because central station was built upon the old Devonshire St cemetery
Who is your mate? 🏳🌈
You used STV video copy cat
They're both the same channel...
Been down there in 2001, creepy place.
