The new look of the 162-year-old St Marys Station has been revealed for the first time, as it aims to transform into a train, metro and bus hub.
Increasing the liveability and work life of Western Sydney, a new footbridge is planned to connect the current St Marys Station with the future Metro station, whisking passengers from St Marys to the brand-new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.

Providing access for people with disabilities, prams and luggage, the new footbridge will be located at the eastern end of the current station platforms.
A new northern plaza off Harris Street with green space will become a major entry to the upgraded station precinct.
The existing footbridge will remain, connecting T1 Western Line passengers to Queen Street.
The 23-kilometre new metro railway line will connect the Bradfield city centre in the south with St Marys in the north, where customers can connect to the existing rail services.
A Place, Urban Design and Corridor Landscape Plan are guiding the design of the new footbridge and landscaping for the northern entry on Harris Street.
Transport for NSW in partnership with Laing O’Rourke will deliver the new footbridge and northern plaza at St Marys Station as part of the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project.
Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport is set to open ahead of the first passenger services at Western Sydney International Airport.
