This is after the tiles & lighting were refreshed a few months ago. It was way worse with broken and missing bits all over the place.
Always reminds me of “An American Werewolf in London”. Creepy AF!
Me too.
There’s a horror movie set in the abandoned rail tunnels around there, called The Tunnel
liminal spaces
You literally don’t know what’s around the corner.
It’s giving Severance.
Gives out Exit 8 vibes.
I always get olden times vibes and think about all the commuters from 100 years ago doing the exact same walk in brown suits and bowler hats
Very “American Werewolf in London” coded.

Backroom
Yes this is how you get trapped in the backrooms
Just plaster it with giant ad billboards, problem solved!
Needs “The Shining” carpets for full effect
similar tunnels under Central
I actually like it. Only bad part is how I’m normally always rushing through it and forget how long it is. St James and Museum are both beautiful old stations.
They really should put a full length mirror on the wall before the tunnel turns right.
Some Backrooms kinda shit
The pedestrian tunnel just adds to the uniqueness. It was great when the empty platforms were on full view. I always think it’s a treat to use St James.
If only the tunnel continued east right on to College St, St Mary’s Cathedral and Sydney’s 8th Greatest Marvel: The Domain Moving Footway. Was that ever a plan? The footway has many stupid elements, not least of which where it ends. It has the unique topological property that no matter where you are, you’ll be just as far from where you want to be, if you take the Moving Footway. I love it.
Exit 8 vibe
Just waiting on the zombies to shuffle around the corner
Waiting for Hugo Weaving to jump out and fight you
Largely unchanged in the 50 years I’ve been using them. Except the two tunnels are now bi-directional, but they used to be RHS tunnel inward, LHS tunnel outward. Made bidirectional after electronic ticketing became a thing in the early 1980s.
I rarely go to St. James station. But when I do, I’m almost always the only one walking through it.
It’s so fucking cold in there! The wind!!
That entire station gives me the creeps. Something is off with that place. I dont know what it is. I hate waiting for a train there.
