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?
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.
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
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...
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
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.
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.
What was the purpose they were intended for? How could they go to Manly and northern beaches, were they going to widen the bridge to add more tracks? Seems like there would be no point, if they were going to extend the network to northern beaches they would not need extra platforms just use the existing setup and add a branch line at North Sydney or thereabouts
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.
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.
I think that platforms when the train of T3, T2 and T1 when the train going not stopping at Circular Quay, St James and Museum and they not use those platforms anymore because passengers service towards Wynyard, Town Hall and Circular Quay. passengers wanted to stop at those stations at least Passengers use Platform 20, 17 and 21.
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.
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 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
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.
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

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. ;-)
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?

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

Can you still get to these platforms with the latest renovations in central?
If they're safe they should let people in during Vivid. Clean up the place, set up a display on the walls, could be fun.
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.

I heard they were used for working on the tracks of all the other tracks
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.
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?

when was this filmed?

If you spammed the button on lift it used to stop there but at guess someone let him in though the stairs
Great video! Must've took a lot of guts to go there

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?
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
I got the chance to enter these platforms years ago and I met Harry Houdini.
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
