Nah, it will be fine. There are 3 other entrances, all of which have stairs, lifts and up/down escalators. Plus a lift at that very same entrance. I live in Santiago, Chile, and many metro stations here have multiple entrances, and often they will only have 1 escalator going up, plus stairs and a lift. It works fine, as the vast majority of users are capable of walking down the stairs. The few who cannot, will use the lift or another entrance. The important thing is to provide mechanical assistance for going up, and one escalator will do the trick.

Any word on whether the tactile wayfinding for those with a visual impairment is finished? And if they got anyone to check it? From your photos there are a couple of tactile strips that lead people straight into a wall, instead of, y’know, in and out of the station

Reminds me of Southern Cross platform 15/16, where the tactile strips near the southern lift don’t actually get you to the platform…

The website for those who are wondering, it is at https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/more/metro-tunnel/. Next, we will find out the opening date of the tunnel (as Yours Truly is on the Sunbury line, I am looking forward to travelling in it sometime next year).

Duly noted. Hopefully they will do an Open Day for the wider community in the near future, similiar to Arden a few years ago (which I went to).

Hopefully. But remember that the last time Transdev was involved in running the trams in Melbourne, they did very well. I think they got fined once for poor service, and that was due to an incident on CityLink and not Transdev. Note that this was post-reunification, and I am not sure of their record when they only operated half of the tram network.

I hope they maintain trams better than they did the buses.

PTV published an article about it a few weeks ago, then yanked it from their website –

Story I heard is that it is still going to happen, but the implementation was delayed.

PTV does not.

It’s just unprotected painted kerbside bike lanes, which pass over kerb side of the platform tram stops.
