Imagine we spend, what... lets say 10 million on a new station in the south east? And all we do is turn the thing into a giant wet wind tunnel! Everyone has to huddle halfway up the stairs so you dont get soaked or blown off the friggin thing. What a joke. How quickly will they get complaints about this do you reckon?
Eh glenhuntly was always like that
Boronia Station? Mitcham? I'm sure there are others as well, but I only know those two because I take the Belgrave semi-frequently lol.
God are all the new ones like that? thats crazy!
AFAIK Boronia hasn't been touched, it's still the glorious crowning architectural masterpiece it's always been.
It looks different from when I lived around there in the 2000s lol. IDK what they did to it, but it isn't the same I don't think. Either way, it is a Wet Wind Tunnel of Grey Doom
thats the tag line of a great Melbourne biopic.
Itβs so annoying. Newish one near us is nicer than the previous one, but unfortunately has very minimal cover. So when platform is busy most people have to get rained on in winter or heat stroke in Summer. Not very clever planning. Some basic tin roofing would have made it so much better.
