Crows Nest railway station is an underground rapid transit station currently under construction in Crows Nest. It is being built as part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project and will form part of the extension of the Metro North West Line. It is scheduled to open in 2024.[1][2] The station will be near the existing St Leonards station on the North Shore line.
Access is provided via Clarke Street and the Pacific Highway.[3] The station is located 25 metres underground.[4] Crows Nest railway station was constructed by AW Edwards.[4] The design includes nine escalators and five elevators.[3]
In 2021, plans were released for three buildings of up to 21, 17 and nine storeys to be built above the station.[5] The initially planned buildings for the site were deemed inappropriate with residents concerned about overdevelopment.[5]
