      It’s as if contracting out station operations and general maintenance to the lowest bidder doesn’t bode well for commuters or the station’s longevity…

      Ahhhh, Southern Cross. There’s something to be said for a place that just refuses to entertain even slightly the notion of being pleasant or attractive to passengers. I wonder if they’ll ever bother trying to spruce it up.

      High amount of foot traffic, an endless supply of selfish morons and cost cutting/profit maximation…. basically everything wrong with capitalism in one central location.

      I used to use this station all the time and literally the second I set foot in it I would feel my asthma flaring up from the diesel fumes.

      I have never experienced this and I went to SC for work multiple times

      I befriended a seagul with one leg. This is regurgitated slop from a time when it was like that. I remember hating SC as a kid/teen. Now I love it.

      And as if Southern Cross being privatised two decades ago wasn’t bad enough, they’ve just gone and repeated the exact same mistakes now that various aspects of the Metro Tunnel stations, including the maintenance, has been given to the private ‘Cross Yarra Partnership’ under yet another PPP that will be in effect until at least 2048.

      Depressing grey station with a film of diesel soot on almost all the windows. It’s a station that I can’t wait to leave. Tried the ramen place upstairs but the diesel fumes entering made me nauseous.

      who ever said it’s “one of the nicest stations on our network” must be someone
      a) who works from home
      b) experiencing brain fog due to inhaling that platform air
