Abandoned Oz
Remnants of the Wynyard Station Tram Line
This video is for both my channels Abandoned Oz and ‪@sydneytrainsvlogs‬
Wynyard Station Platforms 1 & 2 which are located right beside Platforms 3 & 4 were used for Trams and ran services to/from Sydney’s North Shore.
These platforms closed in 1958.
The tunnels and area where the platforms were located were used for the Menzies Carpark until Menzies was demolished.
The tunnels and ex platform area still exist and are used for the “Dark Spectrum” event during Vivid Sydney.
Dark Spectrum started in 2023 and was proved to be popular! So much so that it returned for Vivid 2024.
This video shows a walkthrough where Platforms 1 & 2 were and the tunnel portal where Trams entered and exited to and from the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The stub tunnels south of platforms 1-2 were converted to an air raid shelter during WWII (similar to St James tunnels). A hidden entrance from a building basement led down a stair case into the tunnel; the portal has been covered over with sheet metal. Some videos on YT from Dark Spectrum show this location!

Family recall that the tram went all the way to St.Leonards via Pacific Highway and to Chatswood up Willoughby Rd., also down through Mosman via Military Rd., in fact they went all over Sydney… thanks for uploading these fantastic videos… what did they build on the old Menzies hotel site?… I grew up in Sydney but now live in another state🎉

The photo you show near the start is actually at the other end to where you were at the time. It’s of the stub tunnels heading South. They go up 100m or so and stop - but you can get from one to the other (the Dark Spectrum route does that).

Stub tunnels? I've wondered that - did the trams only enter and exit via the Harbour Bridge, and not continue thru to anywhere? I'd also be curious where cars entered and exited what became the carpark, because obviously that would not have been the portals onto the harbour bridge.

@@rakeau Cars entered via a ramp from Wynyard Lane straight into the station box. Cars exited via another ramp from the converted tunnels into Cumberland St, just before the Cahill Expressway. The section between the car park exit and Harbour Bridge portals remained closed off (various other uses).
