Though without skill in rail operations or passenger movements I'm not sure what value a general position could add. Except maybe in aesthetics, but then everyone's got an opinion on that!Peter Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413976934040474125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18909424.post-74529850960691691602008-12-28T17:49:00.000+11:002008-12-28T17:49:00.000+11:00Nice post Peter.In theory we have a State Architec...Nice post Peter.<BR/><BR/>In theory we have a State Architect. There is no reason why he shouldn't have input into the design of stations. It would probably be up to the DOT to get him on board though.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't help but think when Myki comes online maybe it can influence things. Connex seems to have all but given up on policing tickets at suburban station gates in favour of roving gangs in carriages. Do we still need to herd passengers though one opening?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps a couple of well placed validations machines and no fence at all?<BR/><BR/>From a personal perspective, I couldn't agree more about getting rid of the billboards. But I also thought that they contributed badly to the "bunching up"problem on Flinders St platforms earlier this year. I don't expect it to happen too soon. There's money to be made.<BR/><BR/>-KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
