So my understanding - and I think you can see it in the video - is that the tunnel immediately north of the northern platforms forms one big tunnel and then branches off into two somewhere before you get to the side tunnels where you can view the active lines through the gates. Is the southern tunnel set up the same way where it starts out as a single tunnel before branching off, or does each end of the southern platforms open up into their own seperate tunnels? In that same vein, do you get to tour each of the four tunnels, or is it just one northern one and one southern one? This is fascinating. It appears that the southern tunnel(s) is sectioned off in more places to create the bunkers. Are the old bunkers in just one of the tunnels or are they next to each other in seperate tunnels? Just trying to get oriented with directions, here.
The St James tunnels were built to extend the rail line to the Northern Beaches via the North Shore. This was John Bradfield’s vision. I agree with you, let’s use these tunnels to untangle Sydney’s train lines and convert them to a true ‘Paris’ style metro lines. All independent from each other.
I thought I heard from someone that tours run about the middle of the year and you have to apply by ballot. I can’t find info about it, but I suggest checking Sydney Trains website periodically.
The southern (Hyde Park) tunnels have previously been open for tours as part of the Sydney Open program in early November (although they weren't last year). That's run by Sydney Living Museums. Haven't heard of any official tours of the northern tunnels. Occasional Sydney Trains heritage tours possibly. Any of these tours are extremely popular and usually sell out within minutes!
Scenes from The Matrix Revolutions were filmed in the disused St James tunnels, while the famous subway station fight between Keanu Reeves’ Neo and Hugo Weaving’s Agent Smith were filmed in the operational parts of St James station.

Were the platforms tunnels ever considered to be converted for Sydney’s trams light rail network ? To avoid road traffic were possible in the future.
The tunnels go only a short distance in each direction - they don’t go anywhere. I believe they will be used for restaurants.

What did he say about Martin place
Is this a tour available to the general public? How does one get to do such an amazing tour?

@@julianfoster3443 The railway heritage group used to run tours every weekend but the discontinued due to terrorism fears.
Railway historical society, not heritage group.
is St James the place to shoot Matrix in the disused platform? Pity not in this video.
