42 new escalators were installed as part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project
Including the longest escalators in the southern hemisphere
Placed end to end, the 42 escalators measure 955 metres long
That's 7 metro trains long
The final two sets of escalators were installed at Central Station's future entrance on Chalmers Street
Two sets of three escalators were installed at the new entrance, a total of 33 metres
Escalator sections were lifted off trucks in Randle Lane
Then lowered through the lift shaft of the building
The sections were put together, then moved into position with forklifts
All 42 escalators will help make Central Station more accessible.
