Roma Street underground station site to open to visitor tours
A limited number of visitors will get the opportunity to inspect the Roma Street Cross River Rail Station cavern, four years ahead of its official opening. The free tours, which will take visitors 30 metres underground into the 280-metre-long space that will house the platforms, are a hot ticket in the Brisbane Open House festival, returning in July. Described in the program as a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity', just two tours of 12 people each will take place, with visitors required to wear hard hats and full PPE. A spokesperson for Brisbane Open House said the tour would begin at the Cross River Rail experience centre where visitors would be given a presentation on the architecture and design of the new stations. From there they will be taken behind the hoardings of Roma Street and below ground to be among the first members of the public to stand upon one of the new station platforms. Bookings open for the tours on Saturday, July 5 at 8am. Cross River Rail was slated to open in 2024 when work began in 2017, but now services are not expected to begin until 2029. Brisbane Open House has announced a greatly enlarged 2025 program in which 91 buildings will be open to the public, including private homes for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.
