A loving heritage restoration sees this historic building furnished with brand new Termini Seats.
Albury Railway Station first opened in 1882, when it was seen as a turning point towards Australian Federation as it was the first large transit stop to be built on the border of Victoria and New South Wales.
The two states still used different gauge train tracks, so the longest undercover platform in the southern hemisphere (at the time) was built at Albury, to allow passengers to transition between lines.
The Australian National Heritage List reports, “The connection of the New South Wales and Victorian railway systems at Albury-Wodonga gave a dramatic boost to the cause of Federation.
“The connection was a long-heralded and much-vaunted engineering achievement, which was crowned with the architectural triumph of Albury Railway Station Building.”

More than 130 years on, the grand, symmetrical Victorian Italianate building has undergone a refurbishment by Degnan Construction including clock tower cleaning, fresh paint and upgrades of lighting and seats.
Street Furniture Australia’s Termini Seat was chosen to provide places to rest throughout the station’s indoor waiting areas. The polyurethane body in standard colour Terracotta complements the heritage colours.
Termini’s generous back provides lumbar support, and high DDA armrests help older travellers sit and stand more easily.
Sixteen three and four-seater Termini configurations were installed, some with wide, low tables for your bag, newspaper and coffee.
The refresh also includes new accessible bathrooms, hearing loops and tactile indicators.
