St James Station is most notable for the abandoned tunnels connected to the station.

You can only get to the abandoned tunnels by entering up the used tunnel along the train tracks and its believed that the entrance is now sealed? You can see a photo of one of them *HERE*

One of the abandoned tunnels is flooded and forms an underground lake, ten metres wide, five metres deep, and one kilometre long known as St James Lake. There have been a number of proposals to use the abandoned tunnels at St James Station and other underground spaces for the storage and recycling of water. In the mid 1990s, Ian Kiernan proposed that the abandoned water tunnel, Busby's Bore (I previously talked about it *HERE* ) be redirected to St James Lake where water could be stored and recycled. Sydney has a number of little known railway tunnels See link *HERE*
