The whole Brunton Road entrance to Richmond Station needs to be redeveloped including adding more top up machines. They need to make that entrance wider to accommodate the large crowd streaming in at the end of games.

To be fair though they do make announcements/have signs warning people to top up before they leave the station so as to avoid the rush at the end of the game. To your point about the machines though I don't believe they are responsible for the bottleneck.

There is no doubt the Richmond station is badly in need of redevelopment. I had not been through it for years until last year. It is like a remnant from the 60's. The problem is the government is sinking billions into the underground. I don't see Richmond getting more than bandaids for this decade.

Nice idea but there is as much chance as me being 21 again.

You're probably right. I can see it funded in time by the station going underground and a series of high rise apartments on top. With the glut of apartments though can't see it happening soon.

Whoever allowed the build up of apartments etc on the concourse surrounding Docklands was a genius.... Not.

There is no such thing as “government money”, it is taxpayers’ money. 

No,  It isn't taxpayers money.!

It is the Australian nations revenue.  It belongs to babies and the geriatrics , the teens & the pensioners... every bit as much as the  partime tax payers who mostly rip off the system anyway.

 

By the way,  do you think much of the money belongs to Harvey Norman, and Andrew Forest, Gina Whineheart, et al.?

I think not.

Call it revenue...  and stop naming it as tax collected...   

Because its nation building revenue. It belongs to all of us.

He's trying to steal the march and the thunder from our ideas...  by getting in first. 

We need it, we want it,  its our idea.   From years back.
