There’s been a structural issue at our local station for some years (since 2016 in fact, when work was done to stabilise it), but still nothing has been done about it. We were told at a Council ward meeting that VicTrack or Metro (whoever it is that’s responsible) just want to demolish the problematic structure, but it’s got heritage value, and they’re not allowed to. But neither the Council nor anyone else is ready to put up the money that’s needed to fix things. So, nothing happens. In the meantime, the guy who used to operate the little shop was forced to move to the old newspaper kiosk at the head of the ramp, but although he made a brief return after the Covid lockdown, he hasn’t been seen recently. I always tried to support him by asking him to do my Myki top-ups, but for now I’ve had to use the machine.
