If you hate Skyrail you're a moron. You've never been a Commuter. Carrum station is one of the most beautiful in the whole network. You have all these other concrete bunker ass stations in the ditch under the road, bentleigh, armadale, cheltenham, which are all bare minimum concrete walls, piping, the only colour coming from the aluminium wall panelling that stops you trying to boulder on the spray on concrete walls. You're open to the sky except where the intersecting road passes overhead. There's no phone reception coz you in a ditch. And THEN you ascend into the sky. You arrive at Carrum. Up in the sky, this station is bare minimum in that there are no walls, only a roof to shelter you from the rain and the sun and you look out over the houses to the bay. The few walls that hold up the roof have maps and try their best not to interrupt the view are a warm sandy colour. The sea always beautiful no matter the weather. Peace grows in your heart when you arrive at Carrum Station, jewel of the Frankston line.
