That’s not my Seddon railway station… the building is too wooden.

And that’s not my Spotswood railway station… there isn’t a station there at all!

So were are they?

Melbourne’s Box Hill railway station has three platforms located beneath a shopping centre in the eastern suburbs.

While New Zealand’s Box Hill station is a single platform on the Johnsonville Branch in Wellington, and run by a different Metlink to the Metlink in Melbourne.

Melbourne’s Seddon railway station in the inner west has two platforms and a brick station building.

New Zealand’s Seddon is a closed station in a small town beside the Main North Line in the Marlborough region of the South Island.

And Spotswood – Melbourne has a nice 1920s suburban station.

While New Zealand’s Spotswood is a tiny little locality in the Hurunui District, about 120 km north of Christchurch.

I was at Glenferrie station on Tuesday, and they were putting up new station signs. They had the old ones sitting in a stack, looking rather inviting.

Then I find out yesterday, two guys I know both got given a sign for free. They were talking to the maintenance men, who gave the signs to them on the condition that if the cops found it they would say they stole them!

Lucky buggers…
