Pitt Street metro station

Pitt Street metro station is an upcoming station on the Sydney Metro City & Southwest line of the Sydney Metro network in Sydney, Australia. It serves the Sydney CBD, and is located close to the site of Sydney Trains' Town Hall station.

Configuration
Pitt Street will be a fully underground station, located 17-20m below street level. The station will be constructed using the mined cavern method, meaning that only a small shaft needs to be dug from ground level. The southbound track will be under Castlereagh St, with the northbound track under Pitt St, with two side platforms and the concourse in between. Each platform will be approximately 5m wide and 170m long.

The station will be located on Pitt Street in the Sydney CBD. Two entrances will connect to the station, one near Bathurst Street, and the other on the corner of Park Street. The station's location and role is designed to be a Metro-only counterpart to specifically eliminate congestion at the neighbouring Town Hall station. The station will also be located near many CBD bus stops, and the CBD and South-East Light Rail.

The station started construction in 2017, and is expected to open in 2024.

Naming
During planning, the station was given the name Pitt Street, with the final name to be decided closer to opening. In 2021, the name Gadigal (the name of the local indigenous people) was proposed. However, with the change of transport minister, a new name, Saunders - the name of the first indigenous army officer, was proposed. All 3 names have been criticised for being unsuitable stations names: Pitt St is several kilometres long, Gadigal covers a large area of eastern Sydney, while Saunders is only tangentially related to the nearby war memorial.
