Town Hall railway station serves the Sydney central business district. It opened on 28 February 1932. ==History== The station is built on the site of Sydney's earliest colonial cemetery, the Old Sydney Burial Ground.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Old Sydney Burial Ground )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town Hall Surrounds )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Burial: Early Sydney cemeteries )〕 In 2008, part of this cemetery was being excavated from under the Town Hall. The station opened on 28 February 1932.〔(Town Hall Station ) NSWrail.net〕〔(Town Hall Railway Station ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕 It was built with six platforms, which were split over two levels with three platforms on each level. When the station opened, only four of the platforms were in use: platforms 1, 2 and 3 on the upper level and platform 6, served by escalators, on the lower level. The other two platforms were built in preparation for a proposed western suburbs line from the city to Gladesville, as envisaged under the Bradfield scheme.〔 This line was never built, and the platforms (4 and 5) remained disused until incorporated into the Eastern Suburbs line when it opened in June 1979. The station concourse had a major restructure in 2005 when the shops inside were closed to make way for the increasing crowds. During a refurbishment of the station in 2014, a sign pointing to an air-raid shelter was uncovered on a staircase leading to Platforms 1 and 2. It has been encased in a persplex casing.〔"Town Hall Station upgrade" ''Railway Digest'' January 2015 pages 44-45〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Town Hall railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
