| Food court, Sydney Central Railway Station |
In September 2015 there as a fire in the Central Station food court and it was closed down. Just about ever since then it has been boarded up with signs saying "Coming Soon". We have been waiting and waiting and last week were thrilled to see it has reopened. Since we pass through Central station frequently and Blue Mountains trains typically run only once an hour it is nice to be able to grab a bite to eat some times. Very happy.
Beautifully restored.
ReplyDeleteYes it has been beautifully restored. I read an article about all of the work they put into restoring those sandstone carvings.
DeleteOh that is good news. Like you we often travel down to Sydney on the train from the Mountains and like to get a bite to eat at Central. We'll be down there again in a couple of weeks for a doctor's appointment, so good to know the food court has finally re-opened.
ReplyDeleteThats good news for you and us visitors.
ReplyDeleteThere is still a new restaurant called Eternity to open. I thought it was some wag putting Eternity on the Coming Soon sign.
DeleteDestruction by fire is such a mess, but the restoration is very good. One would never guess what had happened.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how extensive the fire was. I think it was only in the kitchen but smoked things up a bit so it seemed like a good idea to close it all down and refurbish.
DeleteMust have a look next time we are in Sydney Joan Elizabeth, looks beautifully restored ✨
ReplyDeleteI think you will enjoy Central Station. I didn't even remember it had that marble floor.
DeleteIt's very pretty and seems quite sophisticated. The carvings look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI guess it needs to be sophisticated. It took them forever to do it and will have to last a long time before the next refurb.
