A week or so ago, I noticed that the flags hanging from the roof over the main concourse had been replaced with shiny new flags, including a RailCorp propaganda flag.
Flags not being my specialty, could someone name the flags for me?

I haven't seen the flags but they wouldn't be for the World Cup would they?

No. These are possibly State or Railway or Sydney of City flags. They have been on display for as long as I can remember, hanging from the roof, opposite the platforms.

The flag on the left looks like the Australian Federation Flag and the one on the right is the Flag of New South Wales

Nor would they think of possibly removing them.
I was there on Saturday morning. Didn't notice anything unusual.

They've been replaced, old for new. You can still see the fold marks in the new ones.

Well, those two flags have been there as long as I can remember, they were there in 2001. And I doubt CityRail would have good reason to move them to make way for their advertising banners.
Oh, wait, it's CityRail. 
I'll get some photos next time I'm down there.

We don't know whether the OP is talking about the flags in particular, or the hanging banners.
Because if he's referring to the banners, then they get replaced every few months to CityRail's taste.
But I'd see no reason for CityRail to replace the NSW and Federation flags, unless they were dirty/worn out.
Either way, I'll check Thursday, next time I'm back in the city.

They used to hang flag-shaped banners up there with the flags.
Either way, turns out he was referring to the flags.
