Transport for NSW has finally announced an accessibility upgrade for St Peters Station, including new lifts and a family accessible toilet, to be completed in 2023. Full details of the upgrade can be found here.
In related news, after lobbying by local residents and Member for Newtown, Jenny Leong, Transport for NSW announced that Erskineville and St Peters stations will remain open during construction of the Sydney Metro, in a statement given to the Sydney Central newspaper.
Erskineville and St Peters are currently on the Bankstown line, which is being re-purposed to become part of the privately operated Sydney Metro line. All other stations on the line will be closed during construction of the Metro, with trains being replaced by buses for years.
As a result of the work, commuters at St Peters and Erskineville will soon travel exclusively on the T4 Illawarra line, linking them directly to Martin Place and the eastern suburbs.
