'''Barangaroo railway station''' is an underground [[Sydney Metro]] station in the [[Barangaroo, New South Wales|Barangaroo]] precinct of [[Sydney]], Australia. The station is served by the [[Metro North West & Bankstown Line]]. |
|||
'''Barangaroo''' is a proposed underground [[rapid transit]] station for the inner-city [[Barangaroo, New South Wales|Barangaroo]] precinct in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]]. The proposal, announced in 2015, forms part of [[Transport for New South Wales]]'s [[Sydney Metro|Sydney Metro City & Southwest]] scheme and would make Barangaroo the first stop for southbound metro trains in the [[Sydney central business district|central business district]] (CBD).<ref>[http://sydneymetro.info/home/news_feed/new-underground-sydney-metro-station-at-barangaroo New underground Sydney Metro station at Barangaroo] Sydney Metro 23 June 2015</ref><ref name="smh-jun-2015">[http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/the-new-metro-railway-line-is-looking-likely-to-have-a-station-at-barangaroo-20150623-ghua2n NSW budget 2015: Barangaroo station to be announced by Baird government] ''[[Sydney Morning Herald]]'' 23 June 2015</ref> |

==Description== |
|||
While plans for a harbour rail tunnel have been government policy for more than a decade, neither the 2005 Metropolitan Rail Expansion (MREP) and 2012 ''Sydney's Rail Future'' strategies envisaged the new line stopping at Barangaroo.<ref name="mrep">{{cite book|title=The state plan: a new direction for New South Wales|date=2006}}</ref><ref name="srf">{{cite book|title=Sydney's rail future|date=2012}}</ref> The [[Sydney Metro (2008 proposal)|various metro rail proposals of 2008–10]], which involved lines running west from the CBD towards [[Rozelle, New South Wales|Rozelle]] and the northern suburbs, would have included a station between [[Wynyard railway station|Wynyard]] and Barangaroo. These proposals were shelved in 2010, however.<ref name=pressrelease>{{cite web |title=Premier Iemma unveils Sydney’s first Euro-style metro rail project |url=http://www.nsw.gov.au/docs/080318_Transport_SydneyLink.pdf |publisher=Premier of New South Wales Department |format=PDF |date=18 March 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/02/21/2825812.htm | title=Keneally scraps CBD Metro plans | date=22 February 2010 | newspaper=ABC News}}</ref> The government also considered a light rail line from Central to Barangaroo via Sussex Street and Hickson Road, but nothing came of this proposal. |

Barangaroo station is located in the [[Barangaroo]] district of the [[Sydney central business district]], beneath Hickson Road and south of Munn Street. The next station to the north is [[Victoria Cross railway station|Victoria Cross]] and the next station to the south is [[Martin Place railway station|Martin Place]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Barangaroo Station |url=https://www.sydneymetro.info/station/barangaroo-station |website=Sydney Metro |access-date=23 June 2024}}</ref> |

The northern entrance consists of separate buildings for the lifts and escalators, which connect down to the station concourse. The two buildings are on the west side of Hickson Road and were designed to be minimalist. The southern entrance will be designed and built in the future.<ref name="Design & Precinct Plan">{{cite web |author1=Metron |title=Barangaroo Station Design & Precinct Plan |url=https://www.sydneymetro.info/sites/default/files/2022-07/Barangaroo_Station_Design_Precinct_Plan.pdf |website=Sydney Metro |access-date=23 June 2024 |date=June 2022}}</ref>{{rp|62}} On the east side of Hickson Road are nine service pods, which are used for ventilation and emergency egress.<ref name="Design & Precinct Plan"/>{{rp|66}} |

With the first buildings at Barangaroo due to open in 2015 and no mass transit construction imminent, Transport for NSW instead began work on the [[Wynyard Walk]]: a $154 million pedestrian tunnel to connect Wynyard Station and the new precinct. The walkway is due to open in 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=Woods Bagot made architects for ‘revolutionary’ Wynyard Walk, Sydney|url=http://www.architectureanddesign.com.au/news/woods-bagot-made-architects-for|website=Architecture & Design|publisher=Infolink|accessdate=3 June 2015|date=5 November 2012}}</ref> |

==History== |

In 2015, Premier [[Mike Baird]] announced the government's intention to divert the second harbour rail crossing via Barangaroo to allow a station to be built there.<ref name="smh-jun-2015" /> |

===Excavation=== |
|||
The contract for the excavation of the six stations and twin {{convert|15.5|km|adj=on}} bored tunnels on the City & Southwest project was awarded to a joint venture between [[John Holland Group|John Holland]], [[CIMIC Group|CPB Contractors]], and [[Ghella (company)|Ghella]] in June 2017, for [[A$]]2.81{{nbsp}}billion. To reduce traffic congestion, the crushed rock excavated from the Barangaroo station site was taken away by barge on [[Port Jackson|Sydney Harbour]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The big dig: New Harbour Metro crossing underway |url=https://www.sydneymetro.info/article/big-dig-new-harbour-metro-crossing-underway |website=Sydney Metro |access-date=23 June 2024 |date=22 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=O'Sullivan |first1=Matt |title=Barges to shift thousands of tonnes of rock from Sydney's new rail tunnels |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/barges-to-shift-thousands-of-tonnes-of-rock-from-sydneys-new-rail-tunnels-20170622-gww8w1.html |website=[[Sydney Morning Herald]]|access-date=23 June 2024 |date=22 June 2017}}</ref> A temporary facility was built in [[Clyde, New South Wales|Clyde]] along the [[Parramatta River]] to receive the crushed rock and load it on trucks.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sydney Metro barging facility to help take trucks off CBD roads |url=https://www.sydneymetro.info/article/sydney-metro-barging-facility-help-take-trucks-cbd-roads |website=Sydney Metro |access-date=23 June 2024 |date=27 April 2018}}</ref> The City & Southwest project involved two tunnels, which were bored using five [[tunnel boring machines]] (TBMs).

Barangaroo railway station is an underground Sydney Metro station in the Barangaroo precinct of Sydney, Australia. The station is served by the Metro North West & Bankstown Line.
Description
[edit]Barangaroo station is located in the Barangaroo district of the Sydney central business district, beneath Hickson Road and south of Munn Street. The next station to the north is Victoria Cross and the next station to the south is Martin Place.[1]
The northern entrance consists of separate buildings for the lifts and escalators, which connect down to the station concourse. The two buildings are on the west side of Hickson Road and were designed to be minimalist. The southern entrance will be designed and built in the future.[2]: 62 On the east side of Hickson Road are nine service pods, which are used for ventilation and emergency egress.[2]: 66
History
[edit]Excavation
[edit]The contract for the excavation of the six stations and twin 15.5-kilometre (9.6 mi) bored tunnels on the City & Southwest project was awarded to a joint venture between John Holland, CPB Contractors, and Ghella in June 2017, for A$2.81 billion. To reduce traffic congestion, the crushed rock excavated from the Barangaroo station site was taken away by barge on Sydney Harbour.[3][4] A temporary facility was built in Clyde along the Parramatta River to receive the crushed rock and load it on trucks.[5] The City & Southwest project involved two tunnels, which were bored using five tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Barangaroo station was the endpoint for the two TBMs that bored the 8.1-kilometre (5.0 mi) tunnels from Marrickville to Barangaroo. The station was also the start point for the TBM that bored the two 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) tunnels to Blues Point on the other side of Sydney Harbour.[6] During excavation, several archaeological remains were found, including an old wharf from the 1890s[7] and the wreck of a wooden boat built in the 1830s, which was the oldest boat of its kind discovered in New South Wales.[8]
In February 2019, the pieces of the TBM used to bore under the Sydney Harbour, TBM Kathleen, arrived at Barangaroo station to be assembled. The machine was launched from a cavern north of Barangaroo station, which had been excavated to allow for a crossover to be built.[9] TBM Kathleen began boring north in July 2019.[10][11] The TBM reached Blues Point in December 2019, after which, the cutterhead and front end of the TBM was transported back to Barangaroo station by barge and the back end of the TBM was transported back via the tunnel.[12]
Also in December 2019, Nancy, the first of the TBMs from Marrickville, broke through the southern end of Barangaroo station.[13] The second TBM, Mum Shirl, reached Barangaroo station in January 2020. By that point, TBM Kathleen had begun boring the second tunnel between Barangaroo station and Blues Point.[14] Each TBM was lifted out of the station box by a tower crane.[15] By October 2021, station excavation was complete and the site was handed over to the station construction contractor.[16]
Station construction
[edit]Following expressions of interest, three companies were shortlisted for the station construction contract by the end of 2019: Hutchinson Builders, John Holland, and Besix Watpac.[17] In March 2021, Besix Watpac was awarded the $217 million contract.[18] By April 2022, the station platform had been installed. It was made of 195 precast concrete pieces. The first four out of ten escalators, which were 25 metres (82 ft) long, had also been installed.[19] By October 2022, two out of the five lifts had been put in place and the installation of platform screen doors was underway,[20] which was completed by April 2023.[21] All ten escalators and five lifts were complete and undergoing testing by November 2023. Other, more minor components were also complete by November 2023, including the terrazzo tiling, station signage, Opal fare gates, and sandstone wall panels.[22]
The station opened on 19 August 2024.[23][24]
Services
[edit]Barangaroo station is served by the Metro North West & Bankstown Line.[25] This line is operated under contract by Metro Trains Sydney.[26] Upon opening, the Metro North West & Bankstown Line will run between Tallawong station to the north-west and Sydenham station to the south-west. In 2025, an extension to Bankstown station further south-west will open.
The Metro North West & Bankstown Line is planned to operate at a four-minute headway during peak and a ten-minute headway outside of peak.[27]
