Ministerial Statement: Eagle Junction set for $10 million make-over

[Hey_diddy]

Does anybody know if they're installing fare gates at Eagle Junction?

It was in the original tender (a large bank on the Junction Road side and a smaller bank on the opposite side).  Then again, so was platform raising...

[Arnz]

I'd have to wonder where they would position the gates, taking into consideration those transferring to/from the Airtrain to the North and/or from Ipswich.

Concourse...

[Derwan]

Ah yes.  A $10 million makeover.  The first suburban station that airport travellers see on the Airtrain.

Apart from the now closed and tired-looking station building on the platform, come Sunday afternoon and the ticket office on concourse closes.  Escalators are switched off with temporary barriers put in front of them.  The toilets - which take several minutes to get to from the platforms because you have to go up to concourse, out the front (via the stairs, escalators or lift) and around the corner - are also closed.

What a waste of money!

Visited this eysore today, what a waste of money. A monument to the transport failings of the previous and current governments.
