Flinders Street Station back in original colours
Passengers can now catch a glimpse of Flinders Street Station's original 1910 colour with the first repainted section now complete.
The original paint scheme is a cream and red combination and can be seen above Platform 1 beneath the clock tower.
This is the first time in nearly 100 years that the station has looked this way as its architects, Fawcett and Ashworth, originally intended.
The building’s external windows and doors have also been restored to their original colour, a deep blue green.
To determine the original colours, a detailed forensic analysis was carried out using sampling and analysis of the existing paint layers to establish their composition and the sequence of application.
More than 5,000 litres of paint will be used to repaint the station.
As the scaffolding gradually comes down over the next few months the station will be revealed restored to its former grandeur.
