In terms of Exhibition station usage, what a change from a couple of years ago. Big wins for common sense here!

It was stupid that the line wasn't used for anything other than the Ekka until recently.

It was stupid that the line wasn't used for anything other than the Ekka until recently.

Pretty sure that was a result of the promoters not wanting to put on the trains/location/recent redevelopment ie Only using the St Paul's Terrace to Gregory Terrace facilities rather than the main arena/train station/ekka ride areas. With the redevelopment they have started using the facilities on the Main arena/new convention centre/train station side which is where this event is being held.
