Talk:Hurstbridge line

Early text
The map of the railway line needs revision. It has no compass direction, there is a break in the rail line, and Eltham and Greensborough stations are transposed. --B.d.mills 02:39, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hurstbridge - premium?
Does anyone know if Hurstbridge station is a "premium" station? Last time I was there, there was someone working there with the little office open selling tickets/etc..., but it doesn't appear as a premium station on Wikipedia or various other places. Is it just part-time staffed, or is it a 'premium' station? Somebody in the WWW 04:03, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * No it's not, at least according to all the maps I've seen. Eltham is the last premium station on the Hurstline. Maybe its status changed recently, maybe it's a 'host station', (the official Metlink maps aren't always right), but I doubt it would be staffed full time, considering it's literally out in the countryside. The Connex website seems to say there is a convenience store or something like that at the station though. If that's the case, they could be selling tickets there independently of Connex, like milkbars and newsagents do almost everywhere. T.PK 07:48, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Not a convenience store, there was someone there in Connex uniform working at the station last time I was there. According to there is a BoM at Hurstbridge for selling tickets, as well as the usual Metcard machines/validators. There used some "part time" staffed stations with similiar facilities to premium stations, most of those have become host stations now, perhaps Hurstbridge is still a part-time staffed station?

 * Well I guess it must be an unofficial, part-time-premium station then? I've never actually been out that way myself, so I can only go by the maps... T.PK 06:45, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

History
The history section is missing some works near Watsonia station that occurred in the 1970's or 1980's when the Greensborough bypass was built. Has Watsonia station been lowered, or has it always sat in a deep cutting? The road overpass was also not there; the Greensborough-Watsonia section now includes a road tunnel for the Bypass that wasn't always there. It may be helpful to provide some history of these changes. --B.d.mills 03:12, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
