The new look of St Marys station has been revealed for the first time, as the 162-year-old railway station is set to transform into a train, metro and bus hub.
This is part of the Minns Labor Government's plan to make Western Sydney an even better place to live and work.
A new footbridge is being planned to connect the current St Marys Station with the future Metro station, which will whisk passengers from St Marys to the brand new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport.
The new footbridge providing access for people with disabilities, prams and luggage 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.
A city-shaping project, 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 has been prepared to guide the design of the new footbridge and landscaping for the northern entry on Harris Street.
The community is invited to provide feedback on the plan up until 15 September 2024.

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.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney Prue Car said:
"I spend a lot of early mornings at St Marys station, and I know passengers at the station are going to love having a front row view of this transformational work.
"Soon St Marys will have a direct link to the new airport and this new accessible footbridge will ensure that everyone on the Western line has easy access to the new Metro."
Minister for Transport Jo Haylen said:
"This is the biggest transformation St Marys station has seen in its 162-year history. Soon it will bring together rail, metro, and buses with simple connections between the three via the new bridge.
The new station will improve accessibility, incorporate bicycle parking and taxi and car drop off zones."
