At Unanderra, that means three lifts, while at Towradgi the ramps - which are too steep to conform to the act - are being replaced by lifts on each platform.
While artist's impressions have already been released, the new videos give a better impression of what the finished projects will look like.
At Unanderra, the video shows the lifts will be in the middle of the platform, rather than the southern end where the stairs are now.
The Towradgi video shows two lifts on each platform, linked by a covered walkway south of the Towradgi Road bridge.
Work has resumed at both sites this week after some time off over Christmas.
The timeline should see both projects completed by late 2022.
