Great videos. Thankyou for capturing sharing these wonderful time capsules.

I walked down that tunnel for the first time in probably 20 years just a few weeks ago and I was sad to see all the areas of missing tiles.

I remember walking down the unused tunnels in the late seventies with a friend. It was very cool.

Great Video Mate

[@AbandonedOZ]

Thanking you :)

[@michaelar6559]

Thanks! Does anyone know what the sparkly mineral in the dark asphalt floors throughout St James Station is? They are so pretty if you look DOWN! Even denser on the stairs! Take a look next time you are there....

If the middle track area was only covered over in the '90s, I must have seen it loads of times. My mum was forever taking me to David Jones and we'd use St James...but sadly I have no recollection of ever seeing that area. I wish I'd being paying attention.

Hi Phil like the video I am a big fan

[@noelhanigan9628]

Back in 2001 I did a tour of the tunnels heading towards the Quay. There were public tours but either ohs or terrorist scares the tours stopped. Not sure when

[@just_passing_through]

2:00 that tiling is disgraceful. How hard can it be?

I remember the old "Red Rattlers" using the City Circle. Use to ride in one and be like a wobbly ride underground :)

[@Djr67]

I remember that too, back in the late 1980s, the red rattlers sure we're noisy on these underground lines. Great fun though.

For a little bit of history my mum work for Marcus Clarke now the tafe building in railway square as a telephone operator during the war years their room over looked the goods line as the train came out of the tunnel blowing there whistle loaded with troops going to war the girls stop work race to the windows and wave goodbye to them after work mum would go to St James's station escorted down one of the tunnels by a air raid warden to operate the switch board for war effort off Northern Australia

[@TatumLambourne]

And you made me become a KZbinr love it thank s phill

[@rakeau]

St James and Museum are beautiful stations. Shame St James never really got completed, but yeah. Also goes to show how they used to plan and build ahead of time .. Not so much a thing these days.

[@markwalford-groom]

no idea why we still only have single decker trains in the UK

[@AbandonedOZ]

Single deckers have their benefits :)
