Reviews
Most famous place in CBD.... one must visit it.... although one can only see people going from one place to another....
The newest of Sydney CBD stations is extremely disability unfriendly - all of the
surface entrances in Martin Place only
have stairs, not even escalators. The only
lift is way up east of Philip Street, in a pokey
little alcove - even the (T) symbol is flat against the wall, blink and you miss it. I don't need a wheelchair - yet, but my dickie knees don't like stairs.
This is where the lindt cafe happened, and now it is home to the homeless tent city. Never a dull moment here!
Close to everything in the city and less crowded than others in the area. Only one block way from Westfield Sydney. very close to shops restaurants and some language schools. Always tidy and clean.
Easily accessible with lots of restaurants around for a good lunch.
Nice station trains come frequently
Can't compare to the stations in most of the Asian countries such as Hong Kong or Thailand. Much cleaner and better design over there.
Still can use a remodel bit it is clean and well maintained.
Clean, well maintained station with easy access to the surrounding streets.
