Flinders Street Station back in original colours

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.
