Thanks AI, that’s very helpful. #Melbourne #CityLoop

After taking the 58 tram from Anzac Station, I went to the Flagstaff Station on the City Loop. This station was the station I used regularly in my first job in 1986. It was opened in May 1985 so brand new when I first started using it. I don't remember it being this cream colour on the walls. Is this tired looking colour caused by pollution and plastic deterioration? Or maybe my memory is wrong.

I hope that the new Metro Tunnel stations retain their colours and don't look this tired in the future.

Love to see serious investment in infrastructure. This project will improve so many people’s lives, for decades to come.

I remember what it was like getting to uni in parkville or to work in the city & down St Kilda Rd before the existing #CityLoop was built. Forking chaos.

Assessing need, planning, funding & delivering social & material infrastructure is what governments are FOR.

For all its faults the Victorian state labor government has delivered this in spades. Media focus on fatuous political team sports (shock horror Dan Andrews everyone hates Victoria) serves the interests of those whose purpose in politics is to protect the wealthy & accelerate plunder while screwing the poor.

We see you.
