RE: Sydney South East Light Rail in Eddy Avenue - was: Overhead wires in George St

In a previous recent email I suggested an
overhead covered pedestrian bridge across
A covered crossing of the Sydney Station taxi
roadway could be provided at the east end of the footbridge, and could be
followed by several airport style horizontal travelators along the
colonnade tram platform and other travelators at the eastern end of the station
building to the top of the escalators leading to the Central Station (suburban)
concourse.
The arrangements for buses and trams in
Rawson place would preferably be with two bus lanes in the middle with the tram
tracks bifurcated to pass at the outside of two island platforms. This arrangement
would allow convenient entry and exit between the buses (with doors at the left
side) onto trams which would use their right hand doors at this interchange.

Sydney South East Light Rail in
My
attached image of the former three tram tracks in
14/09/1959, probably best shows where the new light rail would be located.
No light rail stop is proposed at this location, although there would be a
third track (as there was in the "olde" days) for light rail vehicles
to
stand over.
The light rail would pass under the left arch, closest to Sydney Central
station. Behind the first supporting pillars are stairs and escalators
leading from the ground level to the main concourse level. Currently at
this location at street level are waiting rooms for passengers for long
distance buses.
For those who don't know
the background, where the two single deck buses can be seen, is George
Street. The arches now support the existing light rail, and in year gone
by, the former Circular Quay to Railway Colonnade tram service via Pitt
Street, returning via
The light rail would come up
the light rail and bus interchange. No light rail stop is shown for Eddy
Avenue. Although the
Central Station, it does involve a ground level crossing of the extremely
busy
It would seem from the plans currently on display, suburban train passengers
would be encouraged to exit via the
Station, to join the light rail at the stop provided near the Dental
Hospital. Again, no covered walkway in proposed from the station exit to
the light rail platforms.
