Haymarket, Rail Emergency Response Unit

The Rail Emergency Response Unit is located on the corner of Pitt Street and Eddy Avenue at Haymarket. The sandstone structure is part of the ramp which runs up to a bridge over Eddy Avenue connecting to Central railway station and Railway Square. The unit responds to emergency incidents involving the rail network such as derailments and automatic fire alarms within the underground rail network and nearby stations. This part of the structure houses the fire trucks.

    1. I can remember the space being used for commercial/retail uses originally but had been vacant for a few years before they refurbished it for this purpose.
