Redfern Railway Station: a transport hub

Redfern Station in Sydney opened in 1855, just north of its current location. In the early 1900s the main terminal was moved a few hundred metres further north and became known as Central Station.

The Central terminus was designed as a vital transport interchange where people and goods moved between trains, horsebuses, steam trams, horse-drawn cabs and carts. Good planning made change possible, as buses, cars, electric trains and light rail took their place. Although the vehicles have changed, Central Station serves thousands of people very well each day.
