Sydney Metro Upgrade
In 2024, in addition to its current lines, Martin Place will also serve the Sydney Metro City & Southwest network, where it will be situated between two new Metro-exclusive stations, Barangaroo and Pitt Street. Construction is currently underway for an extra tunnel with escalators going deeper underground to the new Metro platforms, allowing the station to become an interchange point between Sydney Metro and Sydney Trains services. The Metro platforms will be in a configuration to have one in each tunnel, which will each be accessed from an escalator and lift.

Platforms and Services
Martin Place is served by Sydney Trains T4 services. Additionally, NSW TrainLink South Coast services stop during peak hours and on weekends. A few South Coast services terminate on platform 2, shunt forward into the turnback and re-enter service from platform 1.During trackwork, there are no trackwork buses from Martin Place as it adds unnecessary journey time and it is quicker to walk or catch the light rail to Town Hall or Central.
